Multiple IEXPLORE.EXE in Task Mnager - Vista OS

[JasperS]

Hey I've noticed lately that i have multiple iexplore.exe running on my task manager.
I've followed howard's preliminary removal instructions topic, but almost half the tools i downloaded wasn't compatible with Windows Vista...
any help anyone?

I think that both AVG and Avast (antivirus programs) are compatible with Vista, so you should install one of them if you don't have any antivirus.

I don't think there is any free firewall for Vista yet; you might as well run Vista's built-in firewall, as it's probably better than nothing.

Please post HijackThis, AVG Anti-Spyware, and ComboFix logs (as many of these as are compatible with Vista).

Regards

combofix ain't compatible with vista, only for win 2000 and XP... i've tryed already...
if i only post the hjt and avg anti-spyware logs will help?

Your HijackThis log is clean, except for FlashGet, which is labeled by some as adware.

If you have the free unregistered version of FlashGet, you should remove it. You can find good free download managers here.

Have HijackThis fix this entry, which appears to be doing nothing:

O13 - Gopher Prefix:

I don't know what to do about the iexplore.exe in the Task Manager. Search your computer for the filename iexplore.exe and post here what location(s) it shows up in.

Your system does appear to be malware-free. Please post the iexplore.exe location, though.
