random high cpu usage with explorer.exe
as the subject states, explorer.exe randomly start eating up 50% of my CPU and l believe firefox is the culprit as closing it down usually resolves the issue. when it happens my system usually crawls for a few seconds then when l check the task manager explorer.exe is usually the service eating up 50% of the CPU.. closing firefox and re-opening generally fixes it however once (yesterday) when it happened closing firefox didnt help, in fact when l did suddenly other services like my antivirus started eating CPU instead however thats only happened once so far. l have downloaded and used process explorer to see what sub-service is eating CPU cycles but it shows nothing just that the service is running at 50% with no sub-service showing high usage which is annoying, however like l said it usually happens when running firefox but its started happening more often over the last day or so which has started getting annoying.
