If I leave IE open it freezes my desktop until I close the processes it creates with task manager. After an hour there can be as many as 20-25 running processes from one open IE window. I posted in an Internet Explorer help forum and it was suggested it might be a "hijackware infection" and I should post here.
Full details of the issue and steps tried to resolve it can be found in my posts here:
If anyone has any suggestions on what the issue could be, that would be great, thanks!
