Processes don't end when exiting I.E.

[Gail]

As I log on & off of I.E. throughout the day, the
processes don't end. They build up until it locks up I.E.
& I have to go into task manager & manually stop all the
processes.

Parasite alert!

There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite).
