I have a problem with IE 7. On both of my laptops if I open a certain post or a auction on ebay, it will close my brouser. If I open the same post or auction with firefox, all is ok. Any clues as to why? This started this summer. Also on some websites I have to hit the back button about three times in a row to back up one page. If I use firefox, one click and it backs up, one page. Thanks for any help.................Brian

My first instinct says Spyware.

I have Iolo system mechanic professional 7. Should take care of any spyware. This happens on two comp. I have. I am stumped................Brian

iolo is good.....it could be kicking you off because there is a virus on that page......download this cleaner and it might fix it.....it will run fine....i use iolo and ccleaner as well......run the cleaner....then scan for ISSUES......fix all issues.....save a registry backup so you can repair if anything happens....never has though.....if it still happens then you need to get rid of TRACKERS as they can cause this as well....use AD-AWARE SE to remove them.....make sure boxes are checked LOW LEVEL and HIGH LEVEL RISKS on status page before scan start.....it will also run with iolo....each sees what the other cannot.....let me know if it works for ya

Did the ccleaner. Did not work still shuts down. I can go back to the website with firefox and view it. I just don't get it?...............Brian

did you run TOTAL PC CARE in system mechanic 7.0??????? its probably IE since FIREFOX is working good.....not the puter.....there are more fixes you should try.....you want.....or are ya done?

if you have AD-AWARE SE try runnin that......did you try SPYBOT????? does it kick you off in WIRELESS mode but keep you on when plugged straight in? try pluggin in and see what happens.....narrow down the trouble

Have not tried ad aware and spybot. I have two toshiba laptops and they both do it. One is wireless and one is wired...............Brian

I really doubt its spyware, y don't u just use firefox, it is a better browser in every single way.

I'll echo the question as to why you aren't just using Firefox as your primary browser.

But in any case, there is the off chance that the page you're attempting to access is trying to run a script that causes IE to shut down. In such case, IE might not be set up to display the page at all (you might need to use a different browser or reinstall/update IE) or the page might be improperly/poorly coded.

IDK, I just am use to using IE. I tryed everything now and it still does it, including reloading IE. It does it on both my puters............Brian

I've had a few issues with IE 7.0 on a number of systems.
In most cases, uninstalling 7.0 rolled them back to 6.0 and cured all problems.
On a couple others, I had to uninstall IE 7.0, re-boot, Windows updates, reboot,
reinstall IE 7.0 and all updates/patches to get them working again. Good luck.

I gave up! I am now running firefox on both my laptops, hopefully no more problems. Thanks for the help guys.............Brian
