I recognize a couple of these. Do you really think one of these is screwing with just my IE browser? All of my other programs (including NS 7.0) are running fine, it's just IE 6 that maxes out my processor and bogs my machine.
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate any help.
1 you have to get a AV running
2 while your in starter hit the tab that says START UP'S
3 post these or just pick and choose what you want to have starting on boot the more you have started the more processes you will have running which means the slower you will run
4 I wouldnt be suprised if you had a trojan on your system
I have to give out this thread because Im about to buy some video Professors Here are the downloads CLICK HERE
You need to do some spring cleaning for sure
Hope this helps

hi there.
My name is Mark, im a computer technician from Israel.
This problem has nothing to do with spyware nor with viruses or trojan horses.
Also, it has nothing to do with tasks.
This problem is caused when Internet Explorer uses a predefined style sheet and tries to force all pages to load according to this style sheet.
Here is the solution:
Go here:
tools-->internet options-->general tab-->accessibility-->
user style sheet-->format documents using my style sheet and uncheck the box. that's all.
Sincerely yours,
Mark.

Hey there Mark! Thanks for your information. Are you sure this is the case though? Usually stylesheet affect the look of the page, itself, not the default search engine for the browser, etc. It seems to me that it's more like some adware that customized the IE browser.

If you run Windows, you absolutely must run an anti-virus program! Avoid Norton and McAfee--the first is a resource hog and the second has too much baggage. My absolute favorite is Grisoft AVG http://www.Grisoft.com, but there are other good ones, including Panda, AVAST, and FreeAV.
One caution: some of the above programs are specified as free for personal use. Since you would be using them in a commercial environment, any use of the free versions would be for evaluation purposes only, but you should be able to check them out, at least. IANAL...
In general, the best list of startup programs is at http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup...artup_full.htm
and the best list of malware and hijackers I have found is at http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm

These two can be safely killed. They are both useless wastes of resources. A good tool to do this with is xteq x-setup http://www.xteq.com/products/xset

An important follow up. After I used Ad Aware to fix my slow Internet Explorer problem, the problem came back. The trouble was more extensive, so I did some more spyware research. I learned I had been attacked by a spyware entity called CoolWeb and that I needed to download a program called cwshredder.exe from the following website http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html. There is a terrific individual there named Merijn who has developed the CoolWeb Shredder program and makes it available free. This program appears to be the only way to defeat and remove the insidious CoolWeb spyware. Broader spectrum spybot detection programs, like Ad Aware, don't get it all, and anti-virus programs don't even know the spyware is present on your system. After I ran the cwshredder.exe program on my PC, all traces of the CoolWeb spyware were identified and permanently destroyed, and the system has remained stable with Internet Explorer running fine. This thread is turning up on metacrawler when I search "internet explorer slow" so I hope more than a few people might be helped. Good luck.

THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks to all for your profound insight.
I found the stylesheet box that was checked (thanks - Mark), unchecked it, and then ran that CoolWeb Shredder program (thanks-Dave987),which had that same stylesheet checkbox under its list of fixes as well, and everything is cool now.
This means I can work on my own machine again and again be an effecient developer.
I hope you folks that helped me know how much I appreciate it.
Life is once again good.
