hi
a while ago i found a process in the task manager "iexplore.exe" which starts up when i log on to windows. when ever i use the internet explorer ads keep popping up. which tells me that this is a spyware process. i have tried scanning my computer with 3 different spyware removal programs. the programs i tried were Spysweeper, Spybot, and Ad-Aware SE Personal. all three of the programs turned up nothing. i have also tryed the system configuration utility (msconfig) to see if that process is in there but it is not. i can end this process on my user section but not my brother's user section. i have run out of ideas.
Can someone please tell me how i can remove this spyware from my computer?
Thanks in advance.

iexplore.exe filename sometimes is used to deceive the user. Not only Internet explorer uses it.
Some info can be found here: iexplore.exe
