Hi malware fighters,

Code 0xC0000005 errors can be caused by wrong RAM settings, conflicting MS update, DEP conflicts, wrong driver uploads, .....but a browser crash can also be caused as an error upon opening a HTML doc or Web page that contains SPAN tags, if a SPAN tag is not closed correctly.
How do you check for?
If your application doesn't have a handler that repairs the stack (by reprotecting the last page) and resumes execution properly, or does not terminate that thread and resumes thread's execution on an unprotected stack, then you'll see a new exception, but this time it will be ACCESS_DENIED (0xC0000005) because a page which isn't committed will be hit,
