i.explore.exe

[shell26]

p.c gone really, really slow when online. Running windows xp with avg/spybot/zone alarm fw.
Task manager shows  100%usage.
I've noticed that iexplore.exe is listed twice.

iexplore.exe       cpu=79       mem usage  11,160k

i.explore.exe      cpu=00       mem usage= 32,960k

Is this any cause for concern?

Make certain the scanners are properly configured.

No point in using a firewall if you let everything through.

Simply give a End Task to it.

Sometimes iexplore.exe hangs.
No need to worry.

I get it ~3 times a week, and i have no virus.

Now that's a worry.

Yup,

Shell26 was that dot (.) between i and e was intentional or mis-spelled.

"Now that's a worry."

I think that's to worry, that's trademark Microsoft with IE.
