If I were you, I wouldn't use IE, that overflow is caused by a
programing error causing allocated memory to overflow, you could visit a
malicious website that would be able to feed code to your buffer.
Whenever you see any type of error that's causing mem/stack overflow.
either you patch it, or you don't use it. There is a reason why memory
overflow is the whipping boy of exploits. If you continue to use IE
than, use it at your own risk, don't start whining if your box gets
turned into a zombie.

* Windows Vista

Overview:

Determina Security Research has discovered a vulnerability in the USER32.DLL code responsible for loading animated cursor (.ANI) files. This vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious web page or HTML email message and results in remote code execution with the privileges of the logged-in user. The vulnerable code is present in all versions of Windows up to and including Windows Vista. All applications that use the standard Windows API for loading cursors and icons are affected. This includes Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Outlook and others.

Microsoft fixed a closely related vulnerability with the MS05-002
security update, but their fix was incomplete. Determina Security
Research was able to bypass the MS05-002 patch and develop a
proof-of-concept exploit that works on fully-patched Windows systems.

getting this error message on only 1 site. (site is private) have
configured advanced settings to disable script debugging and not notify
me of errors in ie7. also have tried running without addons and exiting
out of av app. i really think that it is on the server of the domain,
but i am just trying to seek out more options to make sure that it is
not my browser or pc. also, memory is fine. have emptied all temp,
history, etc... thanks for your suggestions in advance. grins.

Why do you ASSume the OP is insulting anyone?

On circumstantial evidence, the OP must figure some of us are smarter than
said OP, because we don't need any specific information included.

Yes, share the error message, and try another browser and see if it has
the same problem and report back.

Oops! My bad.. sorry. Error is "Stack overflow at line 0:" <--- that is
the entire context of the error message in Windows Internet Explorer
Dialog Bos. I don't, nor will I, have any other browsers installed on my
machine, so I really can't test that. Thank you in advance. :-)

Well can you go to another machine with another browser on it there and
test? It's a good troubleshooting step. Also you should google your
error and see what comes up. Looks like a common problem with IE in
general.
