Hi there,
I believe I have two problems, which may be separate or related, and I've had a look around the web to find some answers and have come to the conclusion that I probably need help from you guys! As the title suggests, I seem to have multiple versions of both iexplorer and chrome running at the same time, even when I am not running them at all. The processes are using large proportions of my system resources (around 10% cpu and roughly 66% of physical memory), thus making the pc slow. This is a real pain.
Also annoying is the intermittent re-direction of my browsers as they load a new web page, to move me onto some ads for lots of rubbish that I don't want.
These problems have been ongoing for a couple of weeks or so, but haven't been too much for me to cope with until the last couple of days when I have been busy on the pc.
I have done nothing to my machine to try to rectify the problem, except for searching the web to find out info on the problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
