Browser Problem

    Wondering if anyone can help here or point me in the right direction.

    I have an issue on my laptop where its becoming increasingly slow of late. I checked the task manager and it seems that there are multiple browser windows operating in a hidden capacity (i have one instance of windows explorer yet there are four or five listed in task manager) all gobbling up resources.

    When i try to end the process, it immediately opens back up again running in the background, completely invisible.

    I have Hijackthis installed and can run logs if anyone needs it.

    Any ideas?

    Is Windows Explorer not the operting system? It has to be running to have XP of whichever operating?!

    Sorry - freudian slip. Meant Internet Explorer!
