Explorer.exe >50% CPU Utilization

[Guest]

Recently I have noticed that after my PC has been on for several hours,
Explorer.exe will hang the CPU at 50-55% utilization and the memory usage
will jump to 115,000-120,000K. I can reboot the system and it will operate
fine...CPU idle.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced...

You've got a memory leak, Azureus does this to me.

I run Azureus for a few hours (6) the memory usage goes up as well as
the CPU usage; things bog down, I reboot and it starts over again.

You need to figure out what program is causing your problem.
