Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player and Shockwave-Problems ever since with AOL Mail

I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player and Shockwave. I have has problems ever since while reading my AOL Mail!  I get a message that a malfunctiong or malicious add-on has caused IE to close. It then reconnects. Sometimes the message is an add-on is attempting to use memory incorrectly.

Any ideas on how to correct this?
