IE out of memory ??

[silkie]

Three or four times now I have had a warning window appear with the following:

Microsoft Internet Explorer
! Out of memory at line: 94

It seems to appear the next time online after I've used IE.

Can anyone explain?

I have Windows XP SP2 - 768 ram - Firefox - AVG

Thanks.

Here's the full drill. Let's make sure that system is clean before we proceed.

Thanks for reply GX1_Man.

I took action as per the info on the link you gave -

AVG Free is fully updated.
I have run Trend Micro Housecall - all checked and clear.
Microsoft upgrades all ok.
I have installed ZoneAlarm Free

Is this enough?

After logging on a few minute ago, trying to get past ZoneAlarm to get Firefox, I got:

A runtime error has occurred.
Do you wish to debug?
Line:89
Error: Out of memory.

I ticked "yes" and a page of what looked like programming instructions appeard. I closed this and all seemed well.

I seem to be banging on about this but I thought might be relevant.

Thanks again.

Check your running processes with task manager to see what is eating up your CPU.

I have a Windows box with a PII and 128 meg RAM with Win2K and I never get this message!

You may want to run Ewido and see if it turns up anything.

I looked at task manager for running processes, but to tell the truth I didn't understand much of what I was seeing.
Anyway, there was what I presume is a summary bar at the bottom, and this is what it showed:

Processes: 60
CPU Usage (varying) 0% - 10%
Commit charge: 370M/1490M

In the list of programmes the highest usage (if thats the right word) is 28000K
Physical memory available: 415316

You mentioned Ewido. I'm not keen on running another firewall programme - I've not got to grips with Trend Micro Housecall yet.

I hope this is of some help - excuse my ignorance.

[silkie]

I meant ZoneAlarm, not Trend Micro - sorry.

[GX1_Man]

Ewido is for trojans, not for any sort of firewall.  

[silkie]

I've now run Ewido Anti Malware scan and that cleared all infections.

Hopefully that will do the trick.

Thanks again for your time and advice.

Please post back with the outcome. There may be more to do.

Update-

Things seem to be ok now.  No recurrence of the original problem.
I now have CCleaner which I have run and will use regularly.

One result of all this is another query I have concerning MS spyware updating, but I think it should be in the software section so I'll make another post there.

Thanks once again - I'm learning all the time.

Glad you are up and running!
