Whenever I'm having trouble or my computer is running slowly, I open up the "processes" tab of my task manager. Usually, I'm familiar with the names of most if not all of the processes running, I know around how high their mem usages should be, etc.
Recently, however, iexplore.exe keeps appearing and taking around 40,000K of my virtual memory. There is never an IE window open, just the task manager claiming that the process is running. Sometimes, strange sound files play from my speakers - a conversation between two guys about March Madness, sometimes a song, sometimes a thunder-and-lightning -like sound. I've found that whenever this is happening, if I open my task manager and kill the iexplore.exe process, the sound stops. Soon, though, iexplore opens itself right back up again. There are also various processes that are keysmashed letters which I don't recognize as of late.
A scan with all the various anti-spyware programs says that I've got a couple of different tracking cookies, a password guesser (?), and virtumonde. I attempted to get rid of virtumonde with the VundoFix program, but after rebooting it still remained. I cannot run a Panda scan because IE refuses to stay open as a window for very long and the scan does not work in Firefox, but other than that I've run all the other prequisite programs/scans and I'm still getting these processes and the iexplore.exe weirdness, and the virtumonde bug keeps showing up.
Any help you could give would be so, so appreciated.
Thanks!
