Need help with IE and Outlook Express problem?

I am not getting any error messages on anything but am having problems with IE and Outlook Express closing down. I will be in the middle of something and they just completely close. When I pull up my browser it is very slow and is very slow to pull up web pages. I uninstalled and reinstalled the IE version 6. I called my internet provider to see if it was a problem with them. They said everything looks fine and seemed to think my antivirus program may be causing it. I have Trend Micro, and have not made any changes to the settings so I dont know if this is the problem. Maybe an update to the Trend Micro is causing it, I dont know. Anyone know what this could be? Any help would be appreciated.
