Hopefully this is in the right place, I just found your forum earlier today.
My internet explorer eats up almost all my resources when I open it and browse. I open IE once but on task manager it shows up twice.. it used to have a memory usage of 10,000-35,000k but now sometimes it uses 75,000 or even over 100,000k. I have run thru the antivirus and malware stuff but I am still experiencing lots of lag.
Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.
Also I am not sure if this will help but here is a list of my running processes (Fresh after reboot, when I opened internet explorer once)
