Internet Explorer - enormously high memory usage

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Hello,
I'm having problems with my IE. For a few days now it's been acting in a
strange way. After working for a few hours links are opened in a semi -
proper window (without File, Edit, View etc and other regular menus) and pop
ups can not be opened at all. Error in the status bar says "not enough
storage is available to complete this operation". When checking in Task
Manager IEXPLORE.EXE takes around 62,220 KB!!!
After quitting the browser completely and re-opening it works OK again but
memory usage grows up every minute.
My computer is clean of viruses and spywares. Nothing of that. 512 MB RAM
present and PF memory is managed by the system Windows XP.
Anyone has an idea what could be the reason for this problem to occur? Could
add - on be the problem?
How to solve that annoyance?

Thanks.

Get rid of the spyware that you still have on your computer.

I don't have any. That's the point.

What specific anti-spyware products did you use?

There is no single anti-spyware product that will fully clean a badly
infected system. Most cleanups require a combination of at least 3
different programs.

And there are a number of purported anti-spyware programs that are in
fact spyware themselves. A list of the known culprits in this regard
is at http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm


Good luck

Microsoft anti - spyware, Ad-Aware + Spybot.
I'm checking every installation on my computer and always try to control my
web - surfing. There is simply no chance that the problem is caused by
spyware. The only changes that were done to the system is installation of
Trixied add -on script and tiny Compaq keyboard utility. Still, it's hard to
believe this could be the reason of the problem. I had the same problem on my
previous computer month before it crashed. But this is a brand new
workstation. No hardware or software problems, trojans or spywares.

Too much of a coincidence...If you had the same problem on a previous
computer, you need to determine the common denominator of what was running
or installed. Were Trixied add -on script and tiny Compaq keyboard utility
also installed on the previou computer?

No, they were not. This is the 1st time i've installed them.
Someone just told me there was a Windows Update for this problem (IE high
CPU usage). Does anyone know about such update?
