Hey guys I really need help with this. Everytime I open iexplore.exe, it shows it in my task manager in processes which is completely normal BUT sometimes when i dont even have internet explorer open it will still show it in my processes and not just 1 of them but 10 of them sometimes. It's not one of those problems where when i close it 10 others open....anybody know what the problem could be??

spyware !!!! it will open iexplorer several times and use a lot of your CPU. get MICROSOFT ANTISPY BETA (free) and run a full system scan, follow the instructions and you will be healed :-)

I actually got rid of this problem by doing the newest Win XP updates. At the time i was using, SpyBot, Ad-Aware, Microsoft AntiSpyware and Spyblaster (still am)...none of them fixed the problem. I also always download windows updates but i guess in one of the newest updates they had a fix to this problem because ever since i did that one little update, the problem has been fixed. Wasnt spyware this time, i'm a clean freak and my PC is always clean from all that crap.
