multiple iexplore.exe ?

Comment:

This is sort of an add-on to my post below. Lately, have been having unexpected problems with the browser IE8 like freezing and not responding. When I open task manager, lately I'm seeing multiple listings of iexplore.exe. I figure if I have 2 windows open, I should see 2 listings not 4. Haven't found any virus or spyware. Is this abnormal? Anyone have ideas as to what it is and how to get rid of it?
