At the moment running the Housecall on-line scan and notice in the Task Manag
er, "Performance tag" it say IExplorer.exe/user/cpu abt 95%, is this normal
as this is the only process running?

Usually when I use Housecall on-line scan there is a bar to say the approx
time it wil take but not this time. Its says "Please wait while Housecall
scan your system" but this has been going on for a few hours. I can see above
the task bar/Start, can see the word "Done" and sometimes can see that its
downloading something. Its seems pretty long time just to scan for my 80gb
hdd (pretty full). Anyone experience this? TIA

Temporarily disable your installed anti-virus application prior to beginning
the online scan. Then don't TOUCH the machine until the scan finishes.
Leave it running overnight, if necessary.

Tip: Run Disk Cleanup before doing any online scans.

After I increased the free space of C and run the Housecall on-line scan, it
took about 6 hours (or thats the time I away) and fund only 2 cookies. It has
improves a bit in terms of time taken to display a web page, but still not
the usual self.
An AVG 8.0 scan also comes to 'nothing". Well, guess have to plough alongand
see what ican do next. TIA

And the reason you're running these scans is...?

When I open the 2nd browser, it took a fair while to display (which is much
longer than usual) and thought there may be some form of infections so thats
why I run the scans. TIA

Before doing another scan, suggest doing a defrag.

Yes since you are running on on-line scan, which is NOT really on-line
btw.
