Problem Description:
Internet Explorer add-ons or toolbars can sometimes cause the browser to run slowly and crash. Some add-ons are spyware that track your browsing history and throw advertising pop-ups.

It's a good idea to delete add-ons if you suspect they're causing performance, compatibility, or security problems.
