Please Help!!! Internet Explorer has stop working! restarting!!!?

[JenniD]

Everytime I close down Internet Explorer, it keeps saying Internet Explorer has stopped working. Then says restarting, and it gets like so annoying, and it happened right after I download the yahoo messenger, but I uninstalled it already. And also, I don't want to download Firefox or Safari 'cause I'm worried that my laptop might get virus from the download. help!!! And I have Windows Vista if that helps, HP Pavilion
Everything was fine until i install the Yahoo messenger, and I uninstalled it permanently and it still has the problem!!! IE has stopped working but it's working fine, I using it right now

I am using Internet Explorer, sorry, forgot to add that

Internet explorer stopped working for me too. all you have to do is go to apple.com and get SAFARI it works a lot better and its faster. and you wont get any viruses I'm positive of that because I've downloaded it on so many computers and they all work great.
