I am running WinXp Pro with SP2 Final. Lately whenever i open yahoo, IE automatically exits after i login to my email account, the same happen when i try to access my hotmail account. I use Mozilla Firefox simultenously and everythings ok there. Furthermore, whenever i login to Yahoo Messenger it also exits automatically after i signed in.
Is there a way to fix this problem without re-instally windows?

Truly weird, just to make sure, why don't you try running the McAfee AVERT Stinger tool or the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool. It kinda feels like an infection, but I guess it could just as well be a problem with the programs themselves. Check the Event Viewer Application logs and see if there are any errors listed when the programs closed down.
