This is to be taken with a grain of salt because I don't do well with technology.

I was having problems with Internet Explorer and Firefox for the last few days. Turns out that yahoo toolbar was causing the problems, some new virus according to Dell support. I disintalled the yahoo and google toolbars and the problems seem to have disapeared (firefox was refusing to boot up and IE was acting strangely). Now I'm just in the process of performing a virus scan to make sure everything is up and running properly.

Maybe you should get rid of yahoo toolbar if you have it installed. It's just one option to try before doing serious damage to your cpu.
