Releasing Memory.

[Guest]

I have a problem with IE 6.0 SP2 When I open IE it works fine however when
I close the it iexlore.exe remains open in Task manager. I have noticed that
with each successive opening of IE 6 an new iexlore.exe is opened and will
not close when I close the brower window. after about 80 such events the
brower will fail to load until I reboot. Can you help me figure out what is
wrong? I have the same setup on another computer but do not have this
problem. Thanks

This is typically caused by spyware.
