Any ideas?

1.18gb is abt 80% for this comp.

CPU Usage averaging around 15%. Normally its around 1-2% on this computer.

Only a few programs r running, like msn, avast anti-virus. This is with iexplorer closed.

the rest are normal.. below 8000 K

with iexplorer open, iexplorer is around 40,000 - 50,000

Gizzy, thanks for the link. But the StartUpList program is not working. I tried all of the download sites. But there seems to be some missing files (or corrupted).

if it is not working then do this
Start-->Run-->msconfig(type it in)

There you will get a window on the menu tab you will get a tab named Startup click that and check the programms.

Well, try "Hijackthis" which you will find on the same website I posted before.
Hijackthis also generates a logfile, which you can paste here, and then we can help you delete certain lines from it if needed.
