Multiple instances of IEXPLORE.EXE in Task Manager

I have noticed recently on my XP machine that IEXPLORE.EXE will come up 20-30
times on my Processes list in the Task Manager. It used to only register once
at a time. This ahs to be slowing me down. Any ideas?

If those entries are also connected to 20-30 IE windows, it sounds like you
have a pop-up/spyware problem.

You might have spyware, which opens additional IE windows and places them of
the visible screen area.
