Website locks up IE, screen flash, Prevx tab disappears

I was just reading an article here
http://lifehacker.com/5520447/windows-maintenance-tips-the-good-bad-and-useless

Win7 x86, IE8, Sywareblaster, Prevx/SO installed

The page keeps trying to load til the page locks up. THen the IE8 window does a quick flash of sorts, page is unfrozen, but the Prevx SafeOnline tab is gone.

Does something on this page crash and disable Prevx SO protection?

Thanks in advance

 

am I the only one seeing this with that webpage?

Netbook with P+SO v3.0.5.130

 

No Problems here with Win 7 32bit and IE8 but I don't use Sywareblaster!

huh, right you are sorta...
I was able to monkey around with some things and can get the behavior to stop and to re-appear.

Hopefully this isnt a vulnerability path:
This netbook is sorely low on RAM, most are.
When I first bought it and it had less RAM and a crappy IG driver version, both IE and windows explorer would do a brief crash, flash, recover (Win 7 way of being nicer than full perm lock up or BSOD.)
As it pertains to this situation,
If I have multiple apps running and four IE tabs, then click that link, IE "flashes" and quickly restores the page - but no Prevx tab.
If I close all but one tab and the other running apps, the webpage loads fine and PRevx tab remains.

Hopefully flooding / buffer overflow of RAM or video RAM doesnt crash Prevx and allow IE to recover unprotected.

Just a heads up.
If not an issue please ignore above.

 

This could very well be a case of not having enough available memory to render the tab properly. Note that the tab is not necessary to have protection loaded - protection takes place far beneath the browser so you're still protected even if the tab isn't loading in every browser tab
