Another thing I have noticed lately in my task manager is that it says I am running about 5 IEXPLORE.EXE when in fact I only have one window open - when I try to "End Process" another one pops up in the task manager instantly. I've also noticed a dodgy file called "EXTRA DEAD.EXE" - any info on that one ?

Many thanks in advance !

— short expert summary and safe next steps based on the log posted.

This system shows a persistent compromise: multiple browser hooks/startup items and a heavily poisoned hosts file (many domains redirected). First priorities are containment and data safety: physically disconnect the PC from the network, do not use it for banking or password changes, and copy personal documents/media only (no programs or system files) to external removable media for safekeeping. Use a known-clean machine to change any online passwords that may have been used on the infected PC.

Suggested cleanup workflow (safe, ordered approach):

  1. Prevent reinfection: disable System Restore before cleaning so infected restore points do not reintroduce files.
  2. Boot the machine into Safe Mode (F8) or scan from an offline rescue environment if available. Run at least one up-to-date antivirus, one anti-malware scanner and a dedicated rootkit detector — different engines catch different threats. Do not remove registry/startup items blindly; export registry/startup snapshots (or create an image) before changes.
  3. Reset the hosts file to remove redirects (backup it first). Example commands from an elevated Command Prompt:
    attrib -H -S %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
copy %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.bak
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost > %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

    Clearing the hosts file removes the redirects but does not remove the underlying malware.

If the infection is widespread, system stability is uncertain, or sensitive accounts were used on the PC, a full wipe and clean OS reinstall is the safest option. After reinstall: fully patch the OS, enable a firewall, install reputable endpoint protection, and restore only scanned personal files.

Notes tying this to prior replies: ’s emphasis on thorough scanning is the right direction; treat scans as one part of a broader recovery plan. ’s remark aside, the situation should be treated as a full compromise. After an initial cleanup or reinstall, post a fresh, saved diagnostic log and a short list of actions already taken for more targeted guidance.

First of all could you click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs and uninstall 'Window Search', 'Window Searching', '', 'LOP SEARCH', 'Browser Enhancer', or 'Ultimate Browser Enhancer' if listed. You may be given a code to insert, do so and reboot when done. If not listed there, run this uninstaller:

1. Download and install keeping the default options. However, some of the settings will need to be changed before your first scan

2.Close ALL windows except Ad-Aware SE

3. Click on the‘world’ icon at the top right of the Ad-Aware SE window and let AdAware SE update the reference list for the adware and malware.

4. Once the update is finished click on the ‘Gear’ icon (second from the left at the top of the window) to access the preferences/settings window

1) In the ‘General’ window make sure the following are selected in green:
*Automatically save log-file
*Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
*Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

Under Definitions:
*Prompt to udate outdated definitions - set the number of days


2) Click on the ‘Scanning’ button on the left and select in green :

Under Driver, Folders & Files:
*Scan Within Archives

Under Select drives & folders to scan -
*choose all hard drives

Under Memory & Registry: all green
*Scan Active Processes
*Scan Registry
*Deep Scan Registry
*Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
*Scan my Hosts file


3) Click on the ‘Advanced’ button on the left and select in green:

Under Shell Integration:
*Move deleted files to recycle bin

Under Logfile Detail Level: (all green)
*include addtional object information
*DESELECT - include negligible objects information
*include environment information

Under Alternate Data Streams:
*Don't log streams smaller than 0 bytes
*Don't log ADS with the following names: CA_INOCULATEIT


4) Click the ‘Tweak’ button and select in green:

Under the ‘Scanning Engine’:
*Unload recognized processes during scanning
*Scan registry for all users instead of current user only


Under the ‘Cleaning Engine’:
*Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot


Under the Log Files:
*Include basic Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Include additional Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Please do not check or make green: Include Module list in logfile


5. Click on ‘Proceed’ to save the settings.

6. Click ‘Start’

*Choose:'Perform Full System Scan'
*DESELECT "Search for negligible risk entries", as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.

7. Click ‘Next’ and Ad-Aware SE will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected and clean automatically.

8. If Ad-Aware SE finds bad entries, you will receive a list of what it found in the window

9. Save the log file when it asks and then click ‘finish’

10. REBOOT to complete the removal of what Ad-Aware SE found

Download & instal Spybot S&D 1.3 from Update it before scanning.
After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED.
On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. This program will prevent the install of bad activex controls that it has knowledge of. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it. Reboot

Reboot when done and post another log please.
