Strange iexplore.exe problems?
I've had a problem on my for a while now where iexplore.exe would show up in my task manager when i had not opened internet explorer. I was able to get it to stop for a while by deleting the iexplore.exe file in my program files. All of a sudden the problem has come back, and when i try deleting the exe file this time, it pops back up a few seconds later. does anyone know anything that could help me with this problem?

Good morning.
It is possible that you have found the Evivinc trojan. A summary, the technical details, and removal instructions are on the Symantec website:
