running xp ie6 version 6.0.2800.1106. Had a few issues with
pop ups etc..cleaned them with spybot, did a virus scan
with latest NAV proggie..no probs there. It's always the
same, when i start ie6 everything is fine but it uses 100%
of my CPU when ie6 is running, I know this by using windows
task bar - performance. I can navigate no probs, it just
uses all my CPU power, pewter gets hot after a while. And I
can't close ie6 after i have opened it, the only way to
close it is to use windows task bar manager.

p.s i have reinstalled ie6.0.2800.1106 with no luck, I
personally think it's an ie engine prob...any ideas would
be great.
I've used the latest ie6 patch, no luck
pps. This is not a scumware, pop up problem, does anybody
know what the issue is here??

If all fails then I would check for a new variant of scumware if you have
not already done so.

I had a similar problem. My virus scanner didn't detect anything. I then had
a friend referred me to Ad-aware 6 and it found, removed and fixed the
problem. It was some scum ware I picked up somewhere

Hope this helped.

First eliminate any scumware.

I've been experiencing the same problem over the last 2
weeks.

It looks like the problem is being caused by Hotmail. As
soon as I log out of Hotmail CPU utilisation drops back to
normal, ~ <5%.

Let me know if it's the same for you?
