OK here is the deal, I got done playing a game today, took a nap, woke up and all kinds of weird things are happening with my pc. I am not too tech savvy so excuse any rudimentary explanations. Here is what is happening.
-I have a new process running called iexplorer.exe which i read is not to be confused with iexplore.exe and is bad.
-I thought I could system restore to fix this problem but no dice. I get to the screen click a date to restore to ->Next->Are you sure you want to restore->Next then nothing. I click next but it does nothing, no hourglass or sound or anything.
-My internet has been acting up. I can no longer google search. If i click anything when i search google it will take me to ads for insurance, blah blah and whatnot.
-I also cannot enter certain sites. Usually if it has ware in the address or something it will just say server not found. I was with a friend on vent at the time and he could access the site just fine.
-If I restart my computer occasionally it will just sit at the welcome screen or a black screen beforehand doing nothing until i manually push the reset button.
-I get errors sometimes when I log in about processes having to be terminated. On one occasion after I clicked ok it prompted a shutdown in 60 seconds saying something about NT
-One thing I forgot about the internet, on a few sites only it will screw with the font sizes. so one thing will be normal size but the other parts of a post will be a few notches higher in font size.
-My search function for files and folders seems to be acting up. It cannot find iexplorer.exe or even iexplore.exe so something is up there.
I have ran all of the following programs in attempt to fix this;
AVG antivirus, Malwarebytes, Lavasoft, Spybot S&D, superantispyware, freeregistryfix
If I end the process on iexplorer.exe 2-3 minutes later I will hear a clicking sound, just like you would if you were exploring your harddrive say. Then iexplorer will be running again.
Here is my HJT log
