Evidently it's adware. Check the following site for removal instructions.

Ieexplorer.exe isn't the same as iexplore.exe which is what Internet Explorer runs as. You can go to http://www.justtext.com/processes-t... to find out more. In the meantime, install a spyware program and clean your system. Many freeware ones can be found like Spybot Search & Destroy or Lavasoft Adware.

I've also seen 'lexplore' (Lexplore) and '1explore' (one explore). They're easy to miss even when they're causing problems.
