Please help - I have a process running and I don't know what it is. At the moment the only application I have open is Firefox, but when I do Alt - Tab, I can see Firefox and another application there, with the generic exe icon and no description. Also IE just stops working after this application appears - its not there when I first start using the internet.

Here's my log file - I've been through all the steps recommened before I post.. Thanks in advance
