IE 8 crashes often

I had a virus and had to reinstall Win XP. I did so then I installed IE8 and
then the service Packs (not sure if the order makes any difference but maybe
so, and that is why I am detailing this), and now IE8 crashes often. Suddenly
it gives me a message saying that IE8 stopped working.

Is there a way I can fix this? I guess the answer is uninstall IE8 and
reinstall it, if so, please explain how?

Thanks

I had a virus and had to reinstall Win XP.

Did you do a Repair Install or did you format the HDD and do a clean
install?

What virus?


...and had to reinstall Win XP.


Why? Although sometimes it's necessary to undo the damage a virus has
caused, most often there are far easier ways to get rid of a virus.

For help with your problem, please describe exactly what you did to
"reinstall Win XP."
