IE crashes after posting topic?

I don't know what is going on but whenever I post a reply or a new thread my IE freezes. The window stops responding and I have to kill it.

Sometimes the post goes through and sometimes I have to post it again. I always copy the text before posting so when I restart IE and go to post everything is fine.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks

Edit: This happens with all forums not just anandtech.

And yes my I did crash just now but did post the topic. One more crash coming up for the edit.
 
You have contaminatino in your system.

This was posted using IE6 with no difficulty before or afterwards.
 
This is on one system at work. I have noticed something else. I open outlook to check my spelling and when I close outlook IE crashes. Sometimes it crashes before I close outlook, but they seem to be connected. This has only happened rather recently.
I also cannot close Outlook. It gets stuck in the shutting down state so I have to kill it.

But why is outlook connected to IE in this manner?
 
I noticed that I could not do anything to the Outlook window just now other then closing it. So I killed outlook through task manager. But when I when to the IE window and error popped up saying "Operation Could not be completed". And then IE stopped responding.

So this appears to be some sole outlook or some other contamination problem.
Any ideas.
 
Run the virus dections solutions sticked at the top.

If that does not work, you may have to clean and install.
