Can anyone help me with this error message for Internet Explorer?

Question

When I close internet explorer, I get this message that appears. It says "The instruction at "OX66OOACCC" referenced memory at "OX66OOACCC". The memory could not be "Read". Click on Ok to terminate the program."

Microsoft charges you $$ if you request tech support. Is there anything anyone may know about this without having to go to Microsoft?

Thank you very much!

Geez, its spyware. And there are tons of free downloads on the internet that you can run like Adaware, Spybot, that'll get rid of stuff like that. If you have a spyware program that you've run already, chances are it isn't detecting it, download another program. Spyware and Adware causes internet browsers and Windows to create false prompts sometimes, mainly because they get fooled by the malicious programs. Don't worry, your computer is ok.

After you run spyware detectors turn your computer off for a few minutes : )

To fix that error, the first place to check should be your computers registry files. For a simplistic definition, these files contain the instructions on how to operate the software and hardware on your computer. These Windows registry keys and files can begin to accumulate overtime and become corrupted and full of errors as software and hardware is added and removed from your computer. If these files get messed up in any way, then you will definitely encounter computer errors.

You don't say what version that you are running. The latest version is IE7 and you can download from the link below. You don't have to remove the old version if that is what you are running.

Will resolve your problems. If you are running IE 7, reinstall over top the existing IE 7
