IE 6 taking 100% CPU

Hi..Internet Explorer 6.0 is taking 100% CPU time the first time it is opened and it is staying like that for almost 2 minutes until I can start working...What could be the problem?

SJ

Have you checked your processes to see what is running when this is occurring?

Hi....I was able to figure that out from some other forums....Thanks for the reply anyway....

I ran the HijackThis.exe and got this log file:

The text in bold is the problem. When I fixed that using HijackThis,
everything is working fine.

Thanks
SJ

You had spyware installed.

Are things still OK for you since removing the BHO using HijackThis?

I am having the same problem on Win2k SP4 and IE6 SP1.
