High memory use by Internet Explorer?
Daily my virus control program (AVG Anti-Virus 2013) displays a window saying I'm using up to 200 MB of memory and I should close down Internet Explorer and restart it.
Often when this happens I am not running any other programs and at most may be viewing a video from YouTube. Sometimes its just my email which may be running a advertisement for a short period of time. I can't help but wonder if a virus is working in the background and to that end I run AVG and Super spyware every weekend. So far only cookie type of issues have been found. Any thoughts?

2 things, either your Internet explorer is playing up,(IE is a terrible browser you should use Google Chrome), firstly, download another browser, then de-install Internet Explorer, then use the browser you downloaded from before to download Internet explorer again. If that dosen't work, I think your AVG Anti Virus 2013 has a programming bug in it. Saying your using way too much data when really your not using much at all - this is a coding problem, you might have to re-install or buy another Anti Virus.
Hope this helps.
Don't worry about spyware or any hacking, this is an internal problem.

AVG and IE both suck. IE more so than AVG... Id bet 10-1 youre actually infected.
If you want I clean pcs/speed them up. Contact me if you want me to take a look at it.
Clcik my name and drop me an email. I have about 40 mins as of now or can help at another time.
