Title: CPU Usage Post by: STFCDude2 on Sunday, January 27, 2008, 17:24:22 Hi guys,
having serious issues with my puter at the moment. It seems whenever i load up IE my CPU Usage jumps to between 97-100%. Checked Windows Task Manager and it is iexplore.exe that is killing my puter. Any ideas? Cheers Title: CPU Usage Post by: Lash_sumthin on Sunday, January 27, 2008, 17:25:13 use firefox :wink:

Title: CPU Usage Post by: axs on Sunday, January 27, 2008, 17:35:05 run spybot S&D and see if it picks anything up.

Title: CPU Usage Post by: STFCDude2 on Sunday, January 27, 2008, 18:50:35 Well, got Spybot S&D (£20 with loads of extras) and yup, Spyware was the fault. Running like a dream now!!

Title: CPU Usage Post by: STFCDude2 on Sunday, January 27, 2008, 19:11:12 I put that in case any of those naughty people are on here. You know, the ones that come in the middle of the night and take your puter away cos you've been d/ling stuff without paying for it........

Since when has there even been a paid version on the market?
I'd be more weary of a paid version, because you obviously can't trust the seller, so he may have smuggled in a piece of his own scumware. Title: CPU Usage Post by: axs on Sunday, January 27, 2008, 20:59:45 It's on a free license on download.com
