Ok I know a little about computers but not much, but when I go to almost any website, I get a box that says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."  And I can either click to 'send error report', or 'don't send', and it does this everytime I go to almost any website.  And if I click either one it closes my explorer, but if I just drag it down to the bottom of the screen where it doesn't bother me, everything keeps working fine.  It's been doing this for a couple months, but I'm getting really tired of having to do this.  Do you think I have a virus?  I'm confused, does anybody know what my problem could be?

Run a virus scan on your computer, it sounds like that might be what it is. Try calling your customer service for your internet provider.

It happens to me randomly, I didn't think it was a virus as my scanner doesn't say that I have anything when I run it.

I just thought that the program hiccuped or something, as computers do sometimes, or so I thought.

Make sure you get them out quickly, some viruses take time to work, some of them eat your computer.

Viruses are not rare these days at all. Not only that, but they can steal your identity, or ruin your computer. A lot more, too.

That happens to me every once in a while. I'm very careful about viruses on my computer, so I wouldn't say you have a virus. You could always try going to the Microsoft homepage, and in the Downloads section you could re-install Internet Explorer.

Just to be safe, you should scan your computer for viruses.
