I am unable to eradicate a virus / trojan / malware that is shown in Windows Task Manager as iexplore.exe even when Internet Explorer is not running.
Symptom: During video streaming from hulu.com using Opera 10 browser, an occasional unwanted sound is heard, such as "Congratulations! You're a winner!". No new window appears, just the sound. Using the Task Manager to kill the iexplore.exe process immediately silences the unwanted sound. It also adjusts the WAV volume control to the lowest, "off" position.
Symptom: At intervals (typically 20 minutes or so) while running the Opera 10 browser, a full-screen advertisement will appear in an Internet Explorer window.
Symptom: Settings for Windows are being modified without permission. The account login screen required a password when no password had been required previously. This was corrected using "run" "control userpasswords2" by deselecting "Users must enter a use name and password...". Outlook Express no longer recognizes existing email accounts (this has not been fixed).
Diagnostic Activity To Date: Spybot Search & Destroy, AdAware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Superantispyware, Trojan Hunter. Some viruses and trojans were found and eliminated, only cookies are reported now. However, the problem with iexplore.exe remains.
