Explorer gets cpu hungry

[Snowman]

XP, SP2 (also SP1), IE 6.0.2900.2180

After some time of browsing iexplorer "suddenly" takes 100% cpu load.
I have not found out what triggers this behaviour.

Anyone has an idea of why and what may be done as cure ?

Hi,
This is probably being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.
