Just a Quick question, I am using IE7, with only one browser open, only one tab also. When I open task manager I see internet explorer listed twice. Usually one listing will be 50,000k and the other 2,000k. why would this be? it does not happen with firefox or any other program. It always seems like there is more going on in the background than there should be, like my modem is working all the time. thanks

Do a virus scan.

That is perfectly normal. It allows you to restore your last browsing session should IE crash or be closed down unexpectedly..

true that. firefox does the same. why are you using IE? Go with Firefox. faster, and crashes less.

Always found that pretty dubious! I'm using IE8 and honestly don't notice it's slower than Firefox, and Firefox used to crash all the time for me

I used to use firefox and it never crashed. I was using IE8 and it was eaqual to FF I actually liked it better. I'm using IE7 because I just reinstalled windows and have not finished getting eveything all ironed out.. As far as the virus scan goes... I am using AVG free it scans all the time, much to my annoyance. but should I start in safemode and run the scan?
thanks all, for your answers. I understand now why it (iE) is listed twice in the TM.
