My IE8 took the CPU usage to 41%. Strangely enough Processes showed two
instances of IE, but I only had one window open. I prefer Firefox anyway. J
I just tried MSN on FireFox and it didn't do anything funny.didn't bump the
CPU utilization any. FWIW, I am not behind a proxy.

Anyone else see this? 
Starting at  9:49am Eastern, anyone who opened Internet explorer and went to
<file:///\\www.msn.com> www.msn.com, brought my citrix farm to 99% CPU
(iexplorer.exe for each user was around 20-50% CPU).  Strange.. It is still
happening.

If they close IE, or navigate to a different site, CPU drops to 0-3.
