For the last few weeks, when I shutdown for the day, the system displays that there is a program "not responding". The file is iexplorer.exe and I have to force it to stop.
I read that this is a virus or spyware and that it should be removed.
My Spyware Doctor, BitDefender 9 and SpySweeper are not finding it when I scan frequently.
Is there a removal tool?


I hate bugs

The root of your problems is 'Spyware Doctor'.Try booting into safemode.Bet ya can't.After Spyware Doctor trashed a legit program of mine because of a false positive, i uninstalled it and finally figured out 'Why' i hadn't been able to get into safemode.Yes, 'Spyware Doctor' and good rittance to it!.

I can't help in its removal but can confirm that IexploreR.exe is a nasty.

It is trying to fool you into believing it is one of the following valid files:

explorer.exe (Windows Explorer)
iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer)

Hopefuly someone will assist shortly but while you are waiting if you Google with iexplorer.exe in the search string you might find something.
