IExplore.exe problems

[Sam]

Please help!!
Opening an explorer window (or two) leads to CPU running
constantly at 100% to 95% and lots of system freezes and
unloaded pages.
More strangely, I am unable to close Internet Explorer
windows, they just remain open - (unless through Task
Manager, in which case every open explorer window will
shutdown.)
Is it a bug with IExplore.exe??
Thanks

You probably have Spyware running.
Get BPS Spyware remover or Webroots S\sweeper.

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.
