IE7 Continously Crashes

One day my Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista crashed. The next thing I know it crashes every 30 seconds or so and I could no longer do any work. It was annoying and I tried searching for updates in Microsoft but couldn’t find any.

I grew tired spending a lot of time looking for the solution and I thought of looking at all the add-ons enabled in IE7. I disabled them one at a time and tested whether it caused IE7 to crash. Luckily, I found out that a certain add-on installed by an online banking I accessed crashed my IE. After disabling it, IE7 runs at the same level of performance and stability it used to.

When your Internet Explorer begins to behave abnormally, check out all the add-ons installed and see the culprit application that makes your life difficult. Check the author of that application if they have updated their add-on to work in Windows Vista without any problems.
