random iexplorer.exe restarts...

[dTx]

hey, every once in awhile i notice my iexplorer.exe (wind explorer browser window i guess) resets, and all my windows are reset to the desktop... when i go the events log, heres the last warning i recieved...

Windows saved user ATHLONXP1800\dTx registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

heres some other probs that i think have something to deal with it...

have read your other post, this is starting to sound like a virus or spyware app, try a on-line scan for virus, then download a spyware scanner, make sure you download any updates for the scanner you decide on, some search tools and browser hi-jack tools do not detect. may need to check add remove programs, the task manager, and running processes for odd things also.
