    IE reset seems to have made it better. I have not seen a crash since resetting.
    Sometimes add-ons can cause problems.

    For the E-mail issue we will get another download as a check for malware to confirm if the e-mails are really originating from your machine.

    Please download aswMBR to your desktop.

    Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it

    Click the "Scan" button to start scan

    On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

    Thank you. I will download next.

    Quick question, I have not seen a delivery failure in about 3 weeks. After the first flood of failure notices, I changed the email password. A few weeks later I got several failures so assumed the password change didnt fix it.

    Could that have fixed anything?

    I think a possibility is that a spammer is using your E-mail address in the "from field" to crank out e-mails. In this case a new password wont help.
