If I choose 'Tools', and 'Windows Update', the Microsoft site comes up and scans for necessary updates, but before finishing, I get an error stating that Ieplore has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL. Ieplore will now close. What is my problem and how can I get my updates? My current version of Internet Explorer is 6.0.2800.1106IS

There are MANY different errors associated with MSHTML, so the EXACT full error message is necessary.

However, the most common cause is ADware/Spyware like "Gator" which comes packaged with many older "freeware" programs and P2P download programs. You got free music, you got some version of Gator.

Suggest you run AD-Aware_SE after installing it and updating it on line. Then maybe several other good Spyware scanners and a good virus scan and a Trojan scan.

My question does include the full and exact error messge, there are no codes or any other defining info. I do subscribe to and run Ad-Aware SE, unfortunately this has not helped this particular problem. In addition to Ad-Aware SE, I run SpyHunter and Spyware Blaster. I have also purchased and run PCResue to no avail.
