every time I try and enter a password for a website (most recently HSBC and the government statistics website) a box comes up offering to remember the password and whether I click yes no or never, it makes the internet stop running and closes the window. I've tried to turn it off under internet options but i cant do it - any ideas?

After all your changes dont forget to re-start your pc..I had same probs and found 2 things
1 some one has been trying to obtain me passwords..not good at all as I had to change all pass words bank etc so I would change your pass words ALL.
2 I found a virus on my pc also some one was useing spy ware to obtain all details again run a cheq on all programs and check your pc. I hope this helps and good luck

most probably your user account has some corruption in it. You could delete and recreate the user id which would refresh the default profile, or just download firefox (www.mozilla.com) or opera, or Internet explorer v7 and use a different browser.
Firefox has better security than Internet explorer anyway and is my preference, especially when using internet banking.

I would guess you have a virus (Trojan) that's trying to steal your passwords ...
