Multipule Explorer.exe using a lot of memory.
Hello everyone,
I'm running into an issue with my system. I've attached an image of my System Processes. It's showing multipule explorer.exe processes running at over 100,000k and iexplore.exe at over 100,000k.
It's a gradual increase and does so even if I let my system just sit there after boot up. The memory increases until my system can't take it and crashed. (this happened once and I was awarded with a fantastic BSOD). I now find myself keeping the task manager open on a 2nd display and I keep ending the process when it gets fairly high.
Let me explain, my laptop worked 100% fine and never had an issue before Feb 6th in the evening. I updated my Macromedia flash and it was all down from there. A few hours later I noticed my laptop running extremely slow, checked task manager and saw the issue. I tried to do a system restore and I have no 'saved points'. I uninstalled flash and re-installed it, still have the issue.
I've checked for malware and ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Spybot - Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware from lavasoft - the problem still exists.
Can anyone please offer some advice? I'm stuck on this and greatly depend on my laptop for work.
Here are the my basic specs; (let me know if you need anything else)
