Parallels 5 Mac OS 10 - Windows 7 - IE8 Crashes

I'm having trouble and was wondering if anyone can help.

Base Machine: iMac Quad Core i7 with Snow Leopard

Running Parallels 5 and Win7. For some reason, IE8 tabs continually crashes - and IE8 attempts to restore said tab - which keeps it in an endless loop of not repairing itself.

This happens with both versions of IE8 - 32 and 64 bit mode.

Firefox works fine.
 
I have been getting repeated crashes of ie8 on a iMac i& with Win 7 Guest OS. I read another post that told me to uninstall the Kapersky Suite from Parallels, and as soon as I did, the crashed of ie8 as well as the other applications went away. Give it a try.
 
What is Kapersky and how do you go about uninstalling it? And more importantly what else breaks or what functionality that Kapersky gave will you loose due to getting rid of it?
 
Kapersky - Parallels Internet Security

Kapersky is the manufacturer of the Parallels Internet Security tool. You install by clicking on Virtual Machine in the Menu Bar and selecting "Install Parallels Internet Security." To uninstall, you go to the Windows 7 Control Panel in the Windows 7 Guest OS. Select: "View by: small icons". Select: "Programs and Features"... Once all of the programs that are installed on your Guest OS load, select the Kapersky Security tool. When you select this program, you will see a link at the top of the page to "Uninstall/Change". Select that link and the follow on screen instruction to remove Kapersky.

You will have to reboot after you get done with the uninstall.

I am now at 24 hours popst uninstall, and I have had no application crashes and no need to reboot my VM.
 
Looks like that was the problem - 5 hrs later, everything is working as it should. I wonder if they will have a fix for that? Or will Kaspersky AV2010 work? I hate to run my system NAKED with no AV protection! Is anyone running an AV program successfully with this configuration? I recently saw a PC Mag review - which rated Bit Defender a little better than Kaspersky...
