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.

If you need to reinstall IE, go here, shouldn't take more than bout 6--8 minutes:
