| Hopefully this is the right place to ask this although it may turn out to be better in the Windows section. Today I noticed that my laptop was being really slow when accessing the internet with IE7. Some investigation show that IE7 was using 100% of the CPU. The last time I had a similar problem was on my daughters PC and it turned out to be some malware. I've run Spybot which found nothing except cookies. When I run Adaware it only find cookies but can't seem to delete the all. I tried Housecall on the Trend Micro site but as this runs in IE7 it just locks up. I'm going to try Google Chrome but in the meantime does anyone have any idea what I should do next?

Try NOD32 online scan, or better yet install Avira Anti-Virus.
Alternatively, ditch IE7 and use Chrome from now on.

It happened to me starting a few days ago on sites containing adverts running under Flash9. I disabled them in FF3 and all is well again with a CPU occupancy of ~1% instead of an almost constant 50%, ie, one entire core being constantly thrashed senseless. 
Cheers, Slipstreem. 
System specs: "Phoenix" - Intel C2D E4500 overclocked to 3GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A and VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM (3.0,3,3,8,1T @546MHz), Sapphire ATI HD3870 512MB GDDR4 PCIe graphics card overclocked to 850MHz GPU & 2.4GHz RAM running Omega drivers. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

| I think Slippy might be on to something as some more testing last night confirmed that some sites were OK and other caused the issue, this forum being one of the offenders. Is there anyway to disable the same thing in IE7? Just got back home and tried it again and I was prompted to do a Flash update. Did that and all seems fine now.
