Internet Explorer won't close!?

Question

As of a day or two ago, when I try to close out Internet Explorer (I think I have version 7) the window goes blank and nothing happens. I have to go down to the start bar and click close a couple times before I get 'This program is not responding.' I have Norton so I did a scan, that didn't help....

Answer 1

You could have Spyware. Spyware is a type of virus that really doesn't harm your computer. It just slows down or stops your internet and usually redirects your pages. This is because it is trying to steal information from you or advertise a product.

Download Spybot S&D here:

If you something in the scan, go here:

This guide will show you how to COMPLETELY remove software that will harm your computer (Viruses, malware, etc.) Using programs such as Spybot S&D, AVG, and Avast will not completely remove a malicious program. Using those programs alone could in fact make it worse.

Just follow the guide and you'll be fine. Plus, everything in the guide is FREE!

If it doesn't find spyware, download Firefox here:

Internet Explorer Wont Close

Answer 3

Try CTRL, Alt, Delete at the same time to close down program.

Answer 4

Is it still open?
The best way to close it is go CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the task manager, then shut it down from there. If it doesn't show up under "applications", go to "processes" and shut down iexplore.exe

Hope this helps!
