There is a nasty little spyware proggie being distributed through a Windows Media Player exploit that causes IE to crash.

The Dot Com Toolbar spyware can be removed with good ol' Spybot Search & Destroy. I figured this out after a slew of phone calls came in about IE crashing. Of course everything in the organization that cannot be figured out immediately becomes a "security" issue.

The common elements were:
1) People were out trying to get online music instead of working.
2) IE generated the standard crash message with the "Send Error" option.
3) This horrible spyware was found on all of the machines.

Anyway, heads up to all the poor helpdesk folks.
