    Hi all, hope you don't mind helping me, I've been having this really irritating problem that iexplore.exe keeps opening in the background (I use Opera as a browser). If I close it from the task manager it'll just start up again, several times, then stops and starts opening on its own again about an hour later.

    I've used Spybot S&D, avenger, MGtools, Ccleaner... still here :(

    I've done some searches in the forums and tried what other people have said, but it still persists.

    I've attached some logs that might help, I'd appreciate any help you can offer, thanks :)

    Hey sorry for the late reply, a friend suggested using ComboFix, and it worked perfectly :)

    Thanks anyway! :)

    Yes and ComboFix is part of the READ & RUN ME instructions I asked you to follow. You really should run all of this as it looks to me like there will be more to do based on your initial logs. It should not be major clean up, put as I said, there is more to do. Make sure you download and use the current version of MGtools.
