| RE: Program Error! C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE (abnormal program terminati Dear all, I had the same problem (am using xp Home though) after installing/upgrading to the latest version of Yahoo Toolbar - not Google, which caused the same problem for many earlier this year and last. Read every thread on this issue - boy did that take some time! Also found that (at http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/index.html) Yahoo Toolbar contains Spyware issues, but that it does not explicitly notify the user about its privacy issues (apart from the small print in the EULA agreement - and who reads the whole of those - I don't, and I am a lawyer!!) - unlike other software companies, such as Google with its dialogue boxes which pop up when a privacy issue arises. Anyway, after trying everything that I was able to, as an above average user, a very deep scan using Zone Alarm Security Suite found that I had the Ardamax Kelogger malware. After removing this, the problem was solved. I cannot say for sure that Yahoo Toolbar was responsible, but I can only assume that it had something to do with the problem in some way or form as the only thing different that I did was to install their Toolbar. I recommend that you exercise caution when installing the Yahoo Toolbar, as perhaps there are some bugs which allow for a security issue to be taken advantage of by 3rd parties. You need to do your own reasearch on this. Hope that helps you all. Regards, Seamus. -- "Yasin_Online" wrote: > Dears, I am using WindowsXP Pro SP2.
