My wife and I have different user accounts. I use firefox browser, she
uses IE. today, when she started IE it was unable to get to any
websites. Also, when we would manually type in a url in the address
bar it was severely slow displaying one typed letter at a time with a
full second pause in between. I logged into my account and started IE
and had no problems, i was able to travel the web unfettered. So, I
logged back into her account and started task manager, then started IE,
I immediately noticed that CPU usage spiked to 100% and remained there
for several minutes and would not drop until I manually shut down IE.
I have run a virus scan under both accounts, finding nothing. I ran
adaware and found quite a few instances of tracking cookies, and one
possible browser hijack attempts.
Any thoughts?
