IE8 freezes, BSOD with embedded video. No Ghostery no crash.

Edit Subject

I had Ghostery for a while but have uninstalled it. It seemed to cause a BSOD when a web page loaded with embedded video. Anyone else? Now pages load ok, at least no crashes.

I wasn't using the very latest version and I was also using it on IE8. I know that when
I happened onto a Huffington Post page that had video going as soon as the page loaded, it would freeze, then BSOD. I tried updating the video driver but that didn't help. For some reason Ghostery seemed to conflict with something, at least that's what it seems. Otherwise I liked the app, its a great idea.
