On my PC with Windows XP Home SP2 and IE 6, when an IE window is closed the
process (iexplore.exe) continues running. Ultimately enough iexplore.exe
processes are running that the system runs out of memory. Any ideas on the
root cause for this issue? All Windows updates have been applied. McAfee
AntiVirus and Yahoo antispam is being used.
