Okay, well after submitting the last post I closed IE7... and got the closing
error again. After some trial and error, it appears it is coming from
Roboform, after I use the fill forms to sign in here. As noted previously,
even though I disabled addons via run, the ones I normally use still appeared
to be active including Roboform. Now, I have disabled them via IE7's
tools>manage addons, and for the moment I am not getting the closing error.
What is interesting is that the Roboform fill still is working, and I use it
to sign in.

I guess I will see what happens after I post this message...
