It may be spyware or you may have been surfing and picked up a BHO (a browser helper object) that attached itself to IE and this is causing the crash. You can use BHODemon2.0 (it's free) to see what BHO's exist and you can disble them. Or, you can try one of the browsers that use portions of IE but have their own interface that ignore IE plugins. Several of them are available for free and they give pretty decent popup protection: Avant, MyIE2, Slimbrowser, Crazybrowser. If they work, and IE doesn't, you probably have some BHO messing you up.
