Internet Explorer causing 100% CPU Usage

[Kevin]

I'm really hoping someone out there can help me with an unusual,
frustrating XP problem that I just can't seem to fix.

When certain web pages are opened with my Internet Explorer 6, it
causes the CPU to jump up to 100% usage, and my computer comes to
almost a halt. The culprit, according to Task Manager, is always
IEXPLORE.EXE, or at least one of the IEXPLORE.EXEs if there are
multiple instances.

I've noticed a common thread to virtually all sites that cause the
CPU to run at 100% -- Javascript. Pages containing Javascript are
virtually always the problem. Examples:

1) almost all pop up windows
2) Yahoo! Mail
3) Match.com Searches
4) All Music Guide

I'm not a computer expert at all, so I've only done what I can think
of. I've checked/removed spyware/malware with multiple pieces of
software (Spybot, etc.) I've defragged. I've checked for viruses
using both NAV and PC-cillin. I've used my System Mechanic program
to go through almost all fixes/maintanance/optimizers. The only
thing i haven't been able to do is Windows ChkDisk, because it gets
stuck every time I try to use it. Nothing has helped and I'm out of
ideas.

Does anyone out there have any thoughts or suggestions?

Much appreciated - Kevin
