Within a few seconds of connecting to the internet, through Internet Explorer, the standard IE box pops up stating and error has been detected. Happens every single time over the 7-10 days and won't go away so that you can continue on the internet. Have used the prompt that asks if you want to send a message to MSN, but of course, you don't get a response. Thanks in advance if anybody can help ... first time using this site.
First, start the system in safe mode. Do so by restarting the computer and holding down "F-8" before the windows XP startup appears. Select "safe mode with networking" from the list. Allow the system to boot. While in safe mode, run a system scan with your anti-virus application, applying any fixes indicated. See if your ant- virus will do an update while you are still in safe mode, If it will, allow the update to proceed, and then run another scan and fix. See if this helps.
If you find my suggestions to be helpful, please share with us some details so that others may benefit from knowing the whole story. Thank you!
*Note: This takes effect after restarting your Internet Explorer.
Your vote will highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did a system restore to a known, good earlier date -per suggestion - but it didn't correct the problem. Still get the "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem" box popping up right away after connecting to the internet.
Thanks, Jaranya, but the problem still persists after trying your suggestions.
Have you run your ati-virus scan and spy ware scanner?
Delete the Temp files, Temporay Internet Files and delete the cookies. Also, run defrag and run a scandisk. Let me know.
Do a sytem restore to and earlier date. Or reboot the unit and hit F8. when the menu comes up, select "last known good configuration"
