that's internet explorer which often get's gunged up with browser helper object, post the log if you want advice on why

resetting ie to default under tools, internet options advanced may help.

I had a look at this but don't know that I want to delete so many things:eek:

Will certainly think about trying it though, when I pluck up the courage.

If you post the hijackthis log, advice will follow

I will get around to that, thanks.

Just out of interest, what would happen if in task manager I clicked on "end process" for the high figure iexplore.exe? Would it be a stupid or harmful thing to do?
