Title: 2 iexplore.exe running on my pc Post by: IXIswamperIXI on September 29, 2008, 11:01:39 AM My IE has been very very slow to load pages and to the point slowing down my whole pc, then I looked at the process running and I have 2 iexplore.exe running at the same time. Any ideas? Nothing has come up on all my scans.

Title: Re: 2 iexplore.exe running on my pc Post by: zin on September 29, 2008, 11:33:09 AM AVG is a virus program, sounds like you may have some malware.. not technically a virus :P
iexplore.exe is the main executable for internet explorer. depends on the location of the file as to weather its an infection or not. (malware exe files can be named anything) if its not in c:\program files\internet explorer\ then you may need to give AVG some help. we have used adaware and spybot for a couple years now, but recently started using MalwareBytes and HijackThis... http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html Good Luck!! zin Title: Re: 2 iexplore.exe running on my pc Post by: asmart82 on September 29, 2008, 11:42:50 AM I use Spybot Search & Destroy and AVG. Both are free from Download.com

IE does seem to be faster but it is still slowing everything down. Anyone know what this means?

you should go into add/remove programs and clean up any unused or unknown programs that are installed Title: Re: 2 iexplore.exe running on my pc Post by: IXIswamperIXI on September 29, 2008, 06:29:59 PM will do thanks

WOW Zin. Your smarter than the average bear. I believe that if you download no trouble there will be no trouble. BTW I use SuperAnti Spyware. I have found some AntiSpyware programs that are free downloadable actually carry spyware. Be carfeul what you download. I also make sure my PC is update with all of the latest patches from MS.
