Re: msimn.exe using 60-99% cpu, even after closing OE6

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

1. Uninstall any/all Norton applications and LiveUpdate via Add/Remove Programs.

2. Run this removal tool: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

3. Your machine is running outdated and much less secure versions of OE, IE and Windows. Go to Windows Update and install all critical updates ASAP.

The subject line says it all...something has changed recently and when I
start running OE6 the cpu usage goes up dramatically and stays that way.
Even after I close down OE6, msimn.exe keeps running and using up the cpu
power. I've run antivirus programs (Avast, and Norton) and not finding
anything obvious. I'd like to ask for some suggestions for troubleshooting
this. My OS is Win2000.
Thanks,
