Caused IE 7 to crash on exit when multiple tabs were open
Jim

Is part of a problem that has blocked the ability certain Windows Updates since September 2007. Removed the add-on, but damage was already done. A virus or trojan piggybacked off of it and it damage my win32 files. Even after removal, if you use IE it keeps returning. Had to switch my internet route and will have to fully restore my computer in order to receive crucial updates.
