    Multiple iexplore.exe running in Task Manager


    I found this in an old thread

    "Run either process explorer or Security Task Manager to check what folder it is loading from. iexplore.exe should run only from C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe If other path then it is a malware. "

    Attachment "Task Manager" shows the number of instances running.

    How do I run "process explorer" or "Security Task Manager" to check what folder it is loading from?

    I did a search in C: drive for iexplore.exe and found 63 items! The attachment Page1.JPG shows the first page of those found. There are 2 more pages but I didn't know if would be of any benefit to upload them.

    Please see attachment "System Type" for my computer details. And Internet Explorer 11.

    I don't even know if this is a problem or not but it seemed unusual to me.

    You are looking in winsxs. Here is some information on winsxs.
    I would recommend just leaving it alone.

    What is winsxs?
