>>Hi,
>>
>>I have noticed that the CPU usage of my PC (Windows 7 Pro with 16 GB ram) goes up whenever I start replying to an email. And the longer I reply (or stay in the Reply mode) the higher the CPU until the entire Outlook stops responding. And then I have to close Outlook. As soon as I close it, the CPU goes down.

>>What could be causing CPU to go up when replying?

>>UPDATE. Another thing I noticed in Task Manager. When I open Outlook, it's memory is no more than 80K. As soon as I click on Reply (to any message), the CPU jumps up from 0 to 20 or 25 right away. The Memory starts growing very fast. I had to cancel Reply when the memory was 196K. So far, Googling for this specific issue didn't produce a solution.

I have not done it. I use Avast AV so I will have to figure how to disable AV (not sure it even has anti-spam). Thank you. But it is a real pain that now every time I reply to an email I have to rush so that the CPU will not get to 100% and the Outlook is down.
