How to remove iexplorer.exe

Expand Post »
I have a processing showing up in my task manager (iexplorer.exe) this is the first time I've seen it. It shows up when I start my computer and is taking up a very large amount of memory. Please tell me how to delete it? I ran hijackthis and it does not even show up there. I also want to know what process could I delete from my start up and how? Below is the scan results from Hijackthis;

Re: How to remove iexplorer.exe

iexplorer.exe is Internet Explorer, which is the web browser your using right now. You shouldn't get rid of because you need it.

Re: How to remove iexplorer.exe

NO NO NO

explorer.exe is the windows GUI
iexplore.exe is IE

iexplorer is a trojan which masquerades as IE
