It seems on some sites that they can use all my available CPU
at times, seriously screwing up my computer, I have to close the
window to stop it.
Why are these c*nts stealing my CPU?

And more to the point how do I stop it.

Some of the sites which might serve as an example

http://uk.weather.com/weather/local/...&code=2fw&y=15

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_de...?playerid=2856

And a lot of the tabloid newspapers such as the sun star mirror etc..

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/

http://www.mirror.co.uk/

They don't do it al the time but ofen enough to annoy me.

What can I do to stop these b*stards????


Sorry about the underlining. (not my fault obviusly)


TIA

Loaded every site you listed, each in a different tab, no problem.

It's not them, it's your computer.

Open Task Manager ..Procesess and see what actually is taking up your
cycles...It also would help to list some specs of your system.

I do but it is still annoying and soometime they cripple it so it is hard to
close the tab (if you can find it)

No it is them they are in a word B*STARDS, they know what they are doing to
my
computer and do it initentinally.
I hope they go to hell.

It's a semperon 3000+ with Radeon exppress 2000 onboard
graphics ('fairly' new computer).

I want to stop the problem happening in the first place, I know
how to stop it, I have done that hundreds of times and I am
fed up with it.

Did visit the sites you mentioned (I have Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP
Home SP2 Dutch version) and I have no other CPU load then normal. Not even a
spike in CPU usage when going to those links.
I did have serious CPU load troubles though with the previous version of
Firefox. Don't know which version you have?

One trick I use, is I remove the Adobe Flash plugin from my
Firefox plugins. That means no Flash adverts can play in
Firefox. If I really need to review a site that uses
Flash, I do it in Explorer. I leave the Flash plugin installed
there.

In your soccerbase.com example, that loaded my CPU to 25%, due to
the scrolling things on either side of the page. For the uk.weather.com,
that registered pretty close to 0% on my computer. (P4 3.1GHz).

On the mirror.co.uk page, the "Latest News" thing near the top of the
page, is an animated image. When that bar updates, it uses 25% of
my CPU. Once the text finishes updating, CPU drops to 0%.

So you can use my Flash plugin trick, and try again.

The files I have in my junk directory, are "npswf32.dll" and
"NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe". I presume they must have been in my
Firefox plugins directory at one time.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127
Firefox/2.0.0.11

It is intermittant, happens occasionally when I have lots of tabs open
then one tab becomes problematic and pushes the cpu to 100.

Yes that Soccorbase uses about 50% CPU, the weather one is intermittant
it is low now but sometimes it pushes the CPU to 100%, it might depend
on the advertisment.
How do i remove the plugins specifically.

If it is a Flash animation issue, are you using the Flashblock
extension? It blocks Flash from running until you click on a "Play"
button (the traditional right-pointing triangle), which would seem
easier to do that disabling Flash entirely and using IE when you need to
see Flash.
