each time I wish to log on to the Net, I get a Microsoft
error message telling me that explorer has to close. I
followed their instructions and downloaded Explorer
update but the problem persists.
It started when a new pop-up came in 'odysseusmarketing',
whenever I closed that window, the explorer closed. Now
it is doing it willy-nilly, when it damn well feels like
it. Even I access my OWN files without even being
connected, it closed a 'search' while I was using it. It
has come to the point where I'm ready to launch it!!
And I simply am unable to ascertain why it is STILL
working during this posting, the mind boggles!
Anyone got any ideas to end my frustration before
demolition? Pleeeeeeze!

Start by seeing you have some spyware that could be the source of the issue.
Download, install and run Ad Aware:

Also run a virus scan on your system.
