hello, im new to this forum and hope you guys can help me out.

I have multiple iexplore.exe processors operating instantaneously with high mem usage at startup.
however, internet explorer is not open and i rarely use it because i use firefox.
Is this a virus? once a kill iexplore.exe there is a improvement in performance but it will always startup again after i restart.

Hope you understood me. ><"
