Do you have two instances of IE open, Michelle?

Michelle · « **Reply #47 on:** February 21, 2009, 18:21 »

i have 4 tabs open but not 2 ie's - ppl are saying to remove the iexplore in prefetch........... hmmm

Rik · « **Reply #48 on:** February 21, 2009, 18:24 »

Windows will only put it back...

Michelle · « **Reply #49 on:** February 21, 2009, 18:25 »

whooooooooooops!!!!!!!!!

I thought i'd try end process on one of them and see what happened ........ ie closed they both went from task mgr and when i opened ie again it put 4 in there!

I think you really need to clean out the machine by using the selective startup option in MSConfig, Michelle. Stop everything which isn't MS, and see what happens then.

Having done some Googling, it seems 'iexplore.exe' could be a trojan. Prevx has been recommended to remove it, but I can't understand how the others you've tried have failed to.

Michelle · « **Reply #52 on:** February 21, 2009, 18:41 »

yes i saw that too simon, I've done them all but not in safemode, oh i did do one in safemode

Simon · « **Reply #53 on:** February 21, 2009, 18:59 »

Some malware can only be removed if it's not running, hence the need to run the scanners in safe mode. I would try that first, Michelle, and / or Rik's suggestion, but if it's a 'hidden' trojan, it may not appear in MSConfig.

Rik · « **Reply #54 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:06 »

I suspect a re-install may be the fastest way to fix this.

Michelle · « **Reply #55 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:20 »

nooooooooooooo there must be another way lol

i tired that diagnostic one - i'd not done that one i'd done selective start up - anyway i didn't know what i needed to get the internet working so i had to come out again, but the 2 iexplores were still there.

taskmgr looks better though ! lol

Michelle · « **Reply #56 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:21 »

okay then I'll do some more scanning

thanks guys

17 is a big improvement.

Michelle · « **Reply #58 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:32 »

oh something else happens sometimes too - when i start pc a tab pops up at the bottom "led hotkey keyboard" it seems to have been doing it since i got this problem.

Simon · « **Reply #59 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:39 »

Well, again, nothing conclusive from Googling, but it could be a keylogger, so unless you've recently installed some new keyboard software, it needs to be got rid of.

Are you using AVG, by any chance?
