IE error message

When trying to access some websites on Internet Explorer, the internet will suddenly close and the following error message pops up:

The instruction at "0x74986b37" refrenced memory at "0x00000024". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.

Any ideas? I apologize if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything on it. Thank you in advance!

If you have Google Desktop, remove it and see if IE crashes.

 

Thank you for your responses. Sorry I didn't give all of the needed info.
1) I do not have Google desktop
2) It was happening in IE6 so I updated to IE7 and it is still happening.

I will go in and do the add on disable and let you know if any of it works. I also found info about taking the fade effect off of the appearances options in Desktop>Properties and that didn't fix the issue.

Thanks again and I will let you know how the add on disabling goes.

Ok...well, I tried everything you guys suggested, then IE7 was horrible. It would cause my whole computer to freak out and freeze up. So, I ran AdAware, Spybot Search and destroy, ccleaner, and AVG virus scan. Did it again in safe mode and uninstalled IE7. I rebooted in normal mode and now IE6 works fine. I went to the online game site that was shutting IE down (gamesville.com) and got to the page I needed. However, I now get this message when I get to the point where a window should pop up with the game rooms:
Note: Pop-up ad blocking software will interfere with your game.
Click here if your game window does not load.

I added the page to the IE Pop up blocker options and tried clicking on the "click here" link but nothing happens. I loaded SunJava, Flash, and Shockwave...very wierd
