IRP Hook won't go away

[Katy1]

Hello,

AVG Free tells me I have nine instances of the IRP Hook when I run
a whole computer scan. I am able to delete them but they always recur.
I did a Rootkit scan; same result, (though AVG tells me the whole computer
scan includes a Rootkit scan also, so it was redundant)

I have Windows7 Professional and every time I go online with Firefox 43.0.4
the same four browsers open. I usually let my computer sleep, but when i
turn it off the same four browsers open.

I have Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6.2.46. I am a Home user.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
