Strange problem, that sounds more like a corrupted program file or a hardware problem. Might still be a Adware/Virus problem, but I assume you have ran a full update virus scan and AdAware or SpyBot S&D scans.

First, check your system memory for soft or cold boot errors. A bad memory module could do this to you. You need to let the system set and cool off (overnight) and then boot it directly into a standalone memory test like MEMTEST86 v3 and let it run and see if it picks up any memory errors.

If that works OK, then you could try a repair of IE (assumes you have done the IE service pack updates). To REPAIR IE 6.0, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove icon, and select (highlight) the entry for "Microsoft Internet Explorer ... and Internet Tools" and then click the Add/Remove button at the bottom of the window. On the options window, select the "Repair Internet Explorer" option and click OK. When it is done reboot the system. This should detect and repair the common IE and Explorer files that may be part of your problem if it is a corrupted program file.

See: for links to standalone memory tests.
