Internet Explorer crash ?

I’m sure you have got many times frustrated from a message like the above one, but hey I’m here to help you.


Why Internet Explorer crash?
Internet explorer crash because of out of memory that the plug-ins uses and harmful peace of codes that they are trying to execute .


Before we begin listing the how to know if your pc is infected, I want you to have a a look at your browser settings


1- first check your Add-ons Manager by going to tools ---> Manage Add-ons as shown below

Then you will see all Internet Explorer plug-ins

Select weird and unknown plug-in and then click disable , for example “Instant Buzz” and “TrafficG” are known for their security issues and vulnerabilities for you computer , so they should be disabled
Then click OK (disabling plug-ins doesn’t take effect until you restart your browser, you should close all internet explorer windows and open it a gain).

Try to remove any toolbars on internet explorer by going to “Add/Remove programs” at control panel.

This way you are eliminating the most causes of Internet Explorer crash,

But wait how I should know if the toolbars or any other plug-ins are a danger and harmful?

Well , there’s two way to answer that question :
1- find it by your self through trial and error hope that will solve your problem temporarily .
OR
2- Try a spyware remover , XoftSpyse is free as detector and very powerful as remover and cleaner.

How I know if my pc is infected :

1- Some times the cause of the crash is not a virus or spyware , it’s a bug in the code in the website your visiting.
2- If you are suffering from a lot pop-ups windows while you are surfing the web then suddenly internet explorer crash and close all your browser windows( I really hate that), this is an indicator that your pc is infected with spyware, adware or a virus.
3- If your computer very slow I mean the browser doesn’t respond quickly or take a long time to load the webpage while you have a very fast connection to the internet, this is another indication that you are infected with a spyware.
4- Your home page change to another webpage and you can’t change it , some spyware and harmful plug-ins try to take control of your browser settings
5- Your computer run slowly even though you just buy it


Hope these info are helpful .

please don’t hesitate to comment , a suggestion or an opinion I really like to hear from you :)
