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"
