IE encountered problem

[karthik]

Hi, I have this question for very long time, While browsing I get this messages
"Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"

In the display box, there are Send Error Report and Don't Send.
Which ever I click all the IE windows closes down and a new window opens.

My question is what is this problem and how to avoid or stop this.

I believe that is the result of Windows DEP (Data Execution Prevention) identifying something trying to execute code on your machine remotely, and saving your a** in the process. Do you encounter these errors with the same websites, or types of sites, typically?

1) Have you considered using Firefox?
2) If you have and decided against it, GOTO 1

You probably want to run some system security tools like HJT, and ask for some help analyzing the logs. I'm not an expert at doing that though, so I can't claim that I would be able to identify what is wrong.

Information on machine or process running behind

Those messages come with links to the actual infomation that would be sent to Microsoft or Mozilla or whoever. The same information may or may not be comprehensible but might indicate a cause. These messages can emanate from any application and not just IE.

Yes, machine info and the details from the error messages.

Regarding the error message should I take print screen of error message, but even by taking the print screen image the uploading the image into the post exceeds the limited level.
What file type I should be saving that is tif or jpg or any other method
And also I found the mouse freezing when this error message is displayed

Today, I worked on a different machine, this time i was able to view any site without getting any error.
Could the error be related to machine and application running.
