Safari closing down when i go to various sites

Question

Ok,
I noticed this happening recently whenever I'm on myspace, and I try to go some of the groups pages I am a member of. Whenever a page has a moving icon on it, one that loops its movement over and over, Safari shuts down. these are the only sites causing problems. any explanations?
Seems like this started right after i did apple's latest security update. maybe, i think.
Below is the problem report if anyone can understand it.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Answer 1

I have the same problem on occasion on Myspace as well. I also have it when i visit weather.com. It is really frustrating. I was told that it could be a result of a program which is not designed for Tiger running while I am browsing the internet. I had an old version of Norton AntiVirus which was not rated for Tiger and once I removed it, the problem almost completely cleared up.
