Hi just registered today :)
i am not a xpert on any windows , but i dont think its any malicious
ware that is active.
( i am of course not yet familiar with XP so it might be another
problem)
i still use the good old 98se but have same problem wit cpu usage and
memory wasted :)

it also lowers my memory % with 15 to 20%

so i guess its kinda unavoidable.

if someone knows a solution that works on all windows systems (xcept
for the: insert more memory or use linux jokes) i would love to hear
them.
