I was reading around and tried the solution from thread "http://computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/10763.html" since I had a similar problem where there is 2-3 Iexplorer.exe running and no matter how many times you try to end task them they keep reappearing, as is the "eggssect.exe & Loadbird.exe" program.

While you are waiting for security advice, these are NOT Internet Explorer (that's iexplore.exe).

The only other similarly sounding valid file is explorer.exe which is Windows Explorer.

iexplorer.exe is bogus and intended to fool you into thinking it is valid by adding letter r at the end.

Do you have MessengerPlus3 installed?

If so, you may have installed the
spyware sponser program called LOP.
