You Tell Me. IE Problems

[Marine Clark]

Im not sure if i got a virus or what, but im pretty sure i do ive done verything in my power that i think ive been able to do. Anyway ive been having this problem whats been preventing me from running Internet Explorer, everytime i open up IE its fine when its running but when i exit it out im unable to click any of the icons on my desktop. I figured out a temporary fix and i went to it like this.

Task Manager > Processes > Iexplore.exe > End Process.

And the problem is gone and i am free to roam threw out my computer then, but this happens everytime i open up my I.E. its not really a big deal to me because i never use but my sisters use my laptop and just click Internet Explorer and ill come home and my computer will b hogged almost 200,000 kb from iexplore.exe cause they get into the IE without knowing. Anyway ive ran programs like AVG, and MalwareBytes and nothing has shown up, i notice my computer seems to be getting slower also.

 

IE just sucks like that. Try downloading Google Chrome, and use that whenever you browse the Internet. I've had my own share of problems and the only way to leave IE is to end the process. Google Chrome or Firefox would work the best, and it takes less CPU usage.

Im using Google Chrome atm, i was just seeing if anyone had a recommended fix for it cause other house hold members use this comp and I.E. even though i tell them not to. FML. haha Got any ideas?

THe usage of I.E. lowers but my comp (Desktop) still remains frozen. i can even click anything on the taskbar and it works. but anything on the screen icons etc. are like frozen.

Sounds like malware.
Obviously if IE is eating your CPU that bad it's not just an error or coincidence.
Chances are though if it's infecting IE it's not harmless, all your personal info could be at risk and shit. I'd go get it fixed professionally.
Or re-install the OS, but once again, back up your docs.
Only other option really is to not use IE, I'm pretty sure you can't get rid of it and reinstall.
