When I view Windows Task Manager I notice 2 iexplore.exe image names. Is that normal? If not, what can I do to correct the issue? Thanks in advance.

I use Firefox too. Nice browser but I don't see it as a fix for your double entry problem.
I have never run into more than one iexplore.exe in task manager and would suspect malware or a keylogger.
Until someone comes along who is more expert on security matters than I, try running Malwarebytes and see if that unearths anything.

... if you use firefox and don't see any "IE" entries ... it might be a "fix"...! ... lol

Mavis007. I don't really think thats likely - they'll still be lurking there ;)

Another thought while you are waiting. Do a search for iexplore.exe and see how many you can find on your machine. Ignore any in the following folders:C:\Windows\ie7
C:\Windows\Prefetch (part of file name)
C:\Windows\ie7updates
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles
C:\Windows\$hf_mig$
Also ignore the file iexplore.exe.mui in the en-US sub-folder of C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer.This should only leave the one which runs, which is in
C:\Program Files\Internet ExplorerEDIT: The underlines in this post are put in by this website.
