Hello, I seem to have a tricky virus problem. I've used multiple scanners like kaspersky and trend micro, also adware scanner, and nothing is showing up.
The problem is that iexplore.exe activates every seven or so minutes and shuts down after a few seconds. This actually kicks me out of other programs, quite annoying and most likely a virus.
I'm so sure that it's a virus because I uninstalled internet explorer, and it still does the same thing. There seems to be hdmp and mdmp files created every time it activates, no idea what those are for.
The process takes 11028 or 11036k under task manager. Does anyone have any idea what this is and how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.

sounds like a bot. Perhaps a BAT virus... run a virus scan and remove it. it sounds easy to defeat. just run windows in safe mode and run the scan, the virus shouldn't run in safe mode.

I'm here to help as best I can...
