    I downloaded IE 8 or rather MS downloaded it for me as a priority update on both my computers which I do not believe it is. When I tried to open a new tab I got this error message:

    Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

    Debug Assertion Failed!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
    File:\x1IEHook.cpp
    Line: 240

    Expression: ((HRESULT)(hr) >=0)

    For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
    (Press Retry to debug the application)

    I pressed Retry and got this:

    Error signature
    AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 8.0.6001.18702 ModName: popupblocker.dll
    ModVer: 2.0.0.0 Offset: 00083cdd

    Disabling popup blocker did not work. Anyone else have this problem?
    Is this serious or just a nuisance?

    popupblocker.dll is not a Windows file and not part of Internet Explorer 8. It is either associated with the software listed here or malware.

    If you run IE with No Add-ons does the problem still occur?

    (Right click Desktop icon > Start without Add-ons or Programs > Accessories > System Tools)
