Didn't get much of a chance to run it, but I have run a scan on McAfee and got absolutely nothing.

Bit Defender is much more comprehensive than McAFee or Norton. The only problem is it can take well over 3 times the normal amount of time because it does it via the internet and is uber comprehensive.

Yeah I noticed... :)

I'll try it later (tomorrow maybe). You think deleting IE7 could solve anything?

No, uninstalling IE7 will make it default back to IE6 in which the problem will still be there. Keep IE7 for now, because we don't want to add another variable to this.

Are you talking about physically removing the application or just rolling it back to the previous version?

Well, I discovered it's a pain in the ass to remove IE completely, so I mean rollback to IE6.

Hackman, I also made a thread at MPC and apparently you're a wiz at HijackThis logs... . They said to wait for you to check it... So I will.

So closing the tasks manually results in them coming right back? Keep hitting it with AVG anti-spyware, windows defender, etc, it has to be malwarez.

You could also try going to start>run, type "msconfig", go to the startup tab, and deselceting the iexplorer tasks (if present), and then removing the entries from the registry or startup folder or whever msconfig say they are.

Default Re: IE is always open...

I would try CCleaner and a-squared
CCleaner will get the temp files and then also the registry issue scan
a-squared will get the nasties like trojans, dialers, etc...







Thanks HL and Corsair!
