start up question

do i really need iedriver.exe to run at start up?. every time i turn on my computer it wants to acces the internet and norton tells me its high risk.. is this true? is this a virus? or something? i block the internet access all the time for that file.

 

Here are 2 links for you to read about the iedriver.exe. As you suspect it is spyware related,so you are right in blocking it.

Download these two SpyWare Scanners/Removers and be sure to get the updates for them before you scan. Should get rid of it.
