~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Multiple instances of iexplore.exe running in my processes with no apps whatsoever running. "End Process" and a new iexplore.exe (or 2) appears hogging sometimes 80,90, 100 Mb's of memory.
I have stepped thru the "READ FIRST" page (ATF, MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Panda) and fixed many threats, but iexplore.exe persists. I have also viewed several other users entries who have seen this ailment and it seems a different fix for each has been suggested.
Thanks in advance and please advise on a solution.
