Hello,

I've developed a really strange problem with my Internet Explorer that I thought might be a malware problem, but I just can't figure it out. The problem appeared out of nowhere, nothing on my system had noticably changed, but it happened after a restart so I dont know what prompted the problem.

Anyway, every single time I open up IE, it'll start up for a few seconds and then crash with the "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem....". In the error signature it mentions "AppName: iexplore.exe" and "ModName: ntdll.dll" as the problems. I did lots of searching to try and figure out/solve this problem but I can't seem to figure it out. From the timing, it seems like it is related to some software/browswer extension conflict, but I can't seem to solve it. The problem does not appear when I run in Safe Mode with Networking.

Things i've tried but haven't helped: replaced ntdll.dll, Installed IE7 (was using 6), disabling all BHO's, turning off 3rd party browser extensions, AVG AntiVirus Scan, Bazooka scan, CleanUp! to clear out all internet files and a couple other things that were linked to on the Microsoft Help site.

I'll post my Hi-Jack log, even though I think i've already fixed anything relevant.

If anyone can help, i'd appreciate a push in the right direction.
