I recently noticed that my computer freezes every time I choose search from the start menu. Task Manager says 100% memory in use. The only way out is to unplug the machine and restart it.
I bought Registry Fix to remedy this problem - it has not.
I have run virus scans in safe mode, (AVG) and no viruses are found.
