Welcome
Not a problem. But many questions about it

[amir57]

its not iexplore.exe its explorer.exe from c windows files their totally different programs

Me bad. You are right of course. It was just that I was having so many questions on IE.
You will have this situation if several user accounts are open
If not
Run a full antivirus scan
Download and run malwarebytes updated and full scan

May be a virus or malware

 

[amir57]

i already have an full antivirus scan and i scan my pc every once a week and i have no viruses. im using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4

Download and try malwarebytes. You may be surprised

Make sure that there is only one user logged in, too.

dude im not changing my antivirus eset is the best if u have any other suggestion can u tell me please thanks

 

[richc46]

Dude, malwarebytes is not an antivirus. If you come here for help it must be taken

 

[amir57]

oh sorry bro didnt know that than ill download sorry.
Edit: and can i install the free version will it do his job well or i have to purchase?

 

[richc46]

Trust me, with this. Right or wrong, I truly want to help. Malwarebytes is looking for malware, other than virus. Many have been very surprised by the results.

get the free. and use it once a week.

Going to bed soon, so try this next if malwarebytes is negative

Open any Explorer window, on the menu bar** click Tools > Folder Options... > View, check to see if you have "Launch folder windows in a separate process" activated.

**If you can't see the menu bar, click Organize > Layout and check (tick) the menu bar option first.

B.T.W, with Nod32 AV and Mbam installed you'll have one of the cleanest (safest) machines about!! I would just add WinPatrol to that, Scotty does what he says he will, a good little guard dog.

There is nothing wrong. Look at what fimble posted. Some programs may spawn another process of explorer.exe. Just check its running from C:\Windows.

 

[richc46]

Try the clean boot that I gave you above
