Hey guys I really need help with this. Everytime I open iexplore.exe, it shows it in my task manager which is completely normal BUT sometimes when i close them up i can still see some in the task manager as if they really didn't close. It's not one of those problems where when i close it 10 others open....Anyway here's my Hijack This logfile, let me know what you see that shouldn't be there.

Thanx!

Anyway here's my Hijack This logfile, let me know what you see that shouldn't be there....

Thanx!

View Post



well, for starters, your hijack log -- at least not in this forum (sorry, couldn't resist amusing myself). We have an entire forum dedicated to hijack logs

Anyway...does it stay in APPLICATIONS or PROCESSES...and does it stay there long ? Or disappear after a while

well, I am beginning to have second doubts on the malware thing....on first glance your log looks clean, but on closer look, I am unfamiliar with the following and I wonder if they could be causing the issue.

Got some people looking...please be patient and will pick it up again tomorrow, k?

If it's clean, we'll try some other things....including, oddly, removing your audio drivers....ahh, but that's a surprise!
