I have multiple iexplore.exe files in the task manager. When I click off internet explorer, the only way to shut it down is to delete the files in the task manager.
However, they keep coming back and duplicate as I surf. I've used various virus and anti trojan programs to try to get rid of this with no luck. Appreciate any help.
