For some reason this process IEXPLORE.EXE always pops up as a system process, and when I downloaded process manager, it says svchost.exe is like a parent of it or something...
And strangely enough I used this program to find the path of iexplore.exe it keeps on returning -1...
And I never use internet explorer..

Well, it's your computer. Wouldn't surprice me.

Google is God:
"do You have a firewall?
There are a few spy programs ( not bugs, not trogans.. SPY PROGRAMS) that use that file to connect to the net. It pops up lookin like internet explorer in firewall permissions.
Generally the spy programs do not show up in your control/alt.delete. They are hidden.

But a firewall must allow it to connect to the net , it will ask. And when you look at the infor box you will see that THAT path is not the right path, for the REAL program.

IF... and I stress IF... this is a spy program they are programmed to be run hidden from Anti virus etc." and then it goes on. Lovely Copy Pasta
Today's post brought to you by the letter: "heck".

I actually made a little macro/program that shuts down that process and it scans the computer every 2 seconds so it hardly uses any cpu

And I don't think its spyware, cause I used this antispyware software called xsoftse and it removed 8 of them
