Brief summary and context: ’s Malwarebytes and HijackThis output shows that multiple unwanted items were detected and a number of removals were scheduled — some removals require a reboot and a follow‑up scan to confirm clean status. That pattern (many toolbars/adware + at least one deeper detection) commonly leaves behind autostart entries, BHOs or scheduled tasks that will keep launching Internet Explorer even when Firefox is the default browser.

Recommended cleanup workflow (do these in order):

  • Reboot to allow quarantined items to be deleted, then update Malwarebytes and run a full scan again.
  • Run a dedicated rootkit/boot‑time checker (for example TDSSKiller or Malwarebytes Anti‑Rootkit) following the vendor instructions; some tools want Safe Mode or a reboot.
  • Run a second‑opinion on‑demand scanner (HitmanPro or an online scanner) to catch anything MBAM missed.
  • Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) to inspect and disable unfamiliar entries in Logon, Scheduled Tasks and the Internet Explorer/Explorer sections; export the list before changing anything.
  • In Internet Explorer use Tools → Manage Add‑ons and disable unknown BHOs/toolbars; then use Internet Options → Advanced → Reset if IE settings look compromised.
  • In Firefox remove any unknown extensions and start Firefox in Troubleshoot/Safe Mode to confirm the problem doesn’t come from an add‑on.
  • If IE still spawns, run Process Explorer when it happens to capture the parent process and the command line used to launch IEXPLORE.EXE (that will show if a scheduled task or another program is spawning it).

Notes and cautions: ’s plain suggestion to “replace IE with Firefox” misses that IE is a Windows component (as pointed out); the goal is to remove whatever is launching IE, not uninstall IE. Avoid aggressive tools (ComboFix, etc.) unless following a trusted guide; if cleanup fails, back up personal data and consider a clean OS reinstall.

i dont use internet explorer. i use modzilla firefox. the video is opened in the background and i have no idea where its coming from. to disable it i have to go to task manager and manually disable IE only to have it come up later.

I would advise the replacement of iexplorer with firefox

You should really read everything in the thread. The poster has stated that he does NOT use IE, he uses Firefox. You cannot "replace" IE it is part of the operating system, you don't have to use it but it cannot be removed.
