Is it a virus problem? Apps are killed automatically

Hi,

When I browse the web for some time (10 min or so, IE6, XP), all the apps
are killed automatically except the Windows Explorer. If you don't run the
IE, there is no such a problem. What's the problem and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Sean

I'm not one of the "experts" here, but I would do two things:

1. Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and run a full scan.

2. Make sure you have the latest critical updates installed on your
computer.

Something is obviously getting in when you are on the Net, and it's being
drawn in by something that's already on your computer, or by a security leak
in XP/IE, IMO.
