IE7 uses 100% CPU resource, one solution
Had a lovely morning setting up a mates new Laptop that's intended as a christmas pressie for his wife.

Apart from finding a Trojan worm in the supplied software !!!!

IE7 froze and started running the CPU up to 100%

Turns out it was a set of add-ins, the old Yahoo companion set to be exact.

Turn 'em off via the "Tools>>Manage add-ons>>" options and all is sweetness again.....

Especially since I've also installed Firefox 2.0 - much, much better.

Cheers - Frank

ps IE7 can be set to start up without add-ons to check for problems....."Start>>All programs>>Accessories>>System tools>>IE No addins"

Its weird that the Yahoo home page now has an ad. for IE7 with Yahoo add-ins:

http://uk.downloads.yahoo.com/intern...orer/index.php

Not sure if those would work any better?

IE7 is growning on me a little as it reminds me of happy Macintosh days

But I'm still using Firefox on my own PC.....

Cheers - Frank
