I tried that.

I'm 100% sure it's a virus.

When I open the IE folder, there are two iexplore.exe's

I changed the filename of the real iexplore.exe to iexplore1, so that maybe it wouldn't trigger the virus.

Then I went and deleted all the iexplores from the Task Manager and managed to delete the fake iexplore.exe from the folder before it respawned (AND empty the recylcing bin)

But it happened AGAIN, and it's still going

I'm downloading tons of virus software, because when this thing gets going, it eats my virtual memory and my computer comes to a grinding halt.

Any tips now?
