[guillard]

Hello, i think i have a virus because i have 2 "iexplore.exe" in my task manager, and when i stop one of them, it restart automatically...i did a scan with avast (home edition with the lasts update), and it find nothing...how could i solve this problem?

Try to use Process Explorer and check the full path of the running images. What is it?

[guillard]

thanks, i 'll try, and i ll tell you....is it shareware, or freeware???

It is a very poweful free tool. It's somehow similar to Windows Task Manager, bug gives you more possibilities. If you select the iexplore.exe process and check its Properties / Image, you should see the full path to the file.

nice soft !!...ok so...i have a "iexplore.exe" that have a parent named "winldra.exe"....what is this process?...

i see the command line :""C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" C:\WINNT\TEMP\fe43e701.htm",
and the path seems to be allright :""C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

It's quite normal to have multiple iexplore.exe's in Task Manager, isn't it?
For example, right now I have 4 of them there...

Each time you start it, you have it there. What's the mystery?

[guillard]

"winldra.exe", seems to be a virus...(dumaru???)

[guillard]

normally, i have just one "iexplore.exe"in task , whatever the number of IE windows open....

[igor]

Well, having more instances of iexplore.exe is normal, but automatical restarting if any of them is closed (as the original post suggested), it seems suspicious...

now, it's ok!....that was a virus and i reach in deletting this "winldra.exe" with hijack...
