Internet Explorer pop up ads then crash

windows vista

I ve just bought a new laptop spec:

AMD Turion X2 TL52 Processor
120GB Hard Drive (fast 5400 RPM)
1024MB - DDR II RAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 Graphics

running vista home premium.
Norton Internet Security

I downloaded and installed skype. I had this on my last laptop which was running XP and had no problems.
But on my new machine as soon as I open internet explorer I get multiple ads opening up in new tabs in internet explorer until it crashes out. I ve tried a restore but despite the restore points being available to select this returns 'an unspecified error' and wont restore. My AV cant find a virus, an error check finds no problems.

Please help.

Maybe some Help

This may solve this problem or not,
Pop-up ads can be caused by Spyware or Adware, this would explain the multiple pop-ups you get when you open internet explorer. Spyware and Adware is also not detected on AV as it is not a virus. I currently have SuperAntiSpyware free edition and it keeps my computer rolling, so you could possibly try that.

I'm experiencing the same

I'm experiencing the same problem. Did you find an answer ? I'm on Windows XP, and skype is installed since the beginning on my computer, but I'm having this problem since not so much time. May it come from acrobat reader 9 ? I read there are some troubles with this version. Since I also suffered of one the bugs adobe is already aware, it may be linked. (opening a PDF in IE makes it crash).

Windows Explorer Crash
I have an Hp Pavilion a1740 with a Dual Core 2 processor. It came with Windows Vista Premium preinstalled.My system was for the most part running well up until 2 weeks ago. I started getting an error message every time I opened Internet Explorer....
Vista explorer crashing after a few minutes
I'm doing a dual boot with XP and Vista. I've installed Vista twice now, and each time the Windows Explorer crashes. The first time first the Gadget bar went, and then the Explorer. Each time Explorer crashes, I get a long error message concerning a DLL with the letters GDI in it (can't remember the full name, unfortunately). Once that happens, I have to shut the computer down with the power button, and then Vista won't reboot. It gets to the point where the mouse shows on a black screen for maybe a second, and then it crashes and reboots again.

I logged the boot process, and booting ended after loading the "monitor.sys" file. The first time I was running MS's driver for the Radeon X300. The next time I was running the Beta drivers from ATI. And after the second crash, the system had to run a chkdsk on the Vista partition.
"Internet Explorer has stopped working"
I'm having major problems with IE7. Everytime I try to open it it tells me "Internet Explorer has stopped working" and wont open. However if I right click and "run as administrator" it opens. I have tried resetting IE7, running it without add-ons, re-installing, everything! I have administrator priveleges too. As if that's not enough, every few times this happens i also get a message saying "windows host process rundll32 has stopped working".

I am officially stumped. Sorry for grumping, any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
