Comment: When I check Task Manager, I notice multiple instances of IE running (each consuming about 25MB - 35MB of memory!), yet I have no open windows of IE on my desktop. I run Norton Antivirus every day. I have removed spyware using Spybot and Ad-Aware. Whats up with this?

Reply: Download Process Explorer at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml to find out what it is, and what's making it run.

Reply: Also, you must keep you Spybot and Adaware updated--no more than 3 day intervals. Also make sure all your sytems are updated--IE, Windows, Outlook evven if you don;t use it, it will affect IE. If you need to reinstall IE, go here, shouldn't take more than bout 6--8 minutes: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp Thresher
