Internet Explorer 6 keeps freezing. When I open the Windows Task Manager to kill the process, multiple IEXPLORE.EXE processes are shown. For example 5 processes will be running when ZERO or FIVE browser windows are open. The freezing occurs because multiple processes of IEXPLORE.EXE continue running. Once I kill all the IEXPLORE.EXE processes Internet Explorer begins to function correctly. This problem has become worse because ONE browser window will generate multiple processes.
Apparently closing the browser doesn't kill the procees.

Do you think the issue could be the popup blocker of MSN or GOOGLE?
Please help, this is so annoying I want to find a different browser and I'm a hard core Microsoft user!
