Multiple Explorer Instances And Firefox Going Berserk
I have multiple instances of explorer.exe running on my Windows 7 Ultimate,sometimes reaching 6 in number,all of whom consume considerable resources,even when nothing else(Like torrent clients etc.)are running.
It can't be a virus problem,as the system is constantly monitored by Norton 360.So what could it be,and how do I stop such a large drain.
Also,the browser firefox has become quite a memory hog of late,sometimes consuming upto 800 Mb of RAM,even with just 2-3 tabs and just a single window open.There might a download or 2 going on,but I've never had such a big memory hog by firefox before.
What could be the problem?
