IE6 slow and spikes cpu usage

[John Walton]

I installed Windows XP yesterday to correct a few problems. Now Internet
Explorer is incredibly slow and uses most of my cpu resources. I ran
Ad-Aware, but it didn't appear to help.

I've been experiencing the same problem over the last 2
weeks.

It looks like the problem is being caused by Hotmail. As
soon as I log out of Hotmail CPU utilisation drops back to
normal, less than 5%.

Let me know if it's the same for you?
