hey guys, got a really, really nasty IExplore.exe virus located in my
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
Directory.

can't seem to get rid of it - and its spawning all sorts of s--- on my computer, from nasty lag, to popping up 'fix your computer' links to even sometimes crashing my Explorer Shell. It seems to respawn copies of itself as random names, tried full scans of Symantec and AVG in Safe Mode - Nothing works so far -HELP!

AVG and Norton AV (am assuming Norton as you said Symantec) are anti virus s/w. What you need right now is an anti spyware.

To start with download and install Adaware from www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download

Post back the results after the scan.
