IE7 never shuts down properly. When I try to close out, I get the "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused" error. Niobis told me to post my log file here.

Well not sure what I did, but I started deleted a ton of old unused programs with the ADD/REMOVE program utility. So far, IE7 is now working. One of the things that I deleted was the Yahoo IE add ons. I have a funny feeling that this may have been the problem. So far so good. Hopefully it won't come back and I don't have a virus.
