IE- Several processes running using alota mem

Comment:

I recently downloaded way too many addons for IE7. However i have since disabled all but maybe 1 (roboform) or 2. My computer has been lagging lately here and there. I looked at my running processes and noticed whenever I have ONE window but a few tabs open within IE7, it shows there are several running iexplore.exe running processes most using tons of memory..... I checked and when I close IE all the IE running processes close in task manager as well. Is there a hidden addon I cant see maybe? Or even better is there a way to see what running process is being used by which addon? Or any other way to fix it.

Look up iexpore.exe here ---

It shows that if you have one IE open, and more than one process for it showing, then the others are virus'.

Most Virus and Spyware scans are likely to work better in Windows Safe-Mode.
