Party Lobby is CPU hogging beyond control - help plz

[HitNRunPoster]

hmm, I've been having the same thing happen, but on IE also and especially with 2P2 (whereas other sites are running ok).

what the hell's going on? I'm a little concerned that I may have contracted a virus of some sort.

Also, I'm having this problem sometimes when party is off. I just recently checked my task manager and party isn't running.
