InternetExplorer Process is running even when it is not open

Unread postby sam.sugavanam » September 7th, 2012, 12:30 pm

Please help!

There are 3 (sometimes 2) IE processes open in the task manager even when IE windows or not open. I have forced them to end process only for it to jump right back. The laptop hangs frequently and also I get other error messages in the system tray.

Re: InternetExplorer Process is running even when it is not

Unread postby deltalima » September 9th, 2012, 3:43 pm

Hi sam.sugavanam,

Welcome to the forum.

Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.

Please note the following:
  • I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • Please do not run any scans or make any changes to the system unless I ask you too.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • If after 3 days you have not responded to this topic, it will be closed, and you will need to start a new one.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Please Note:
The programs I ask you to run need to be run in Administrator Mode by... Right clicking the program file and selecting: Run as Administrator.
Additionally, the built-in User Account Control (UAC) utility, if enabled, may prompt you for permission to run the program.
When prompted, please select: Allow. Reference: User Account Control (UAC) and Running as Administrator

CKScanner

  • Please download CKScanner from here to your Desktop.
  • Make sure that CKScanner.exe is on the your Desktop before running the application!
  • Right click on CKScanner.exe and select: Run as Administrator then click Search For Files.
  • After a very short time, when the cursor hourglass disappears, click Save List To File.
  • A message box will verify the file saved
  • Double-click on the CKFiles.txt icon on your Desktop and copy/paste the contents in your next reply.

Next

  • Please download this tool from Microsoft.
  • Right click on MGADiag.exe and select: Run as Administrator.
  • Click Continue.
  • The program will run. It takes a while to finish the diagnosis, please be patient.
  • Once done, click on Copy.
  • Open Notepad and paste the contents in the window.
  • Save this file and copy/paste it in your next reply.

Please let me know if the computer is used for business in any way.

Please also let me know what Citrix is used for.

deltalima, Thanks a lot for responding. I sometimes check my work email from this laptop and my outlook exchange emails are delivered to this laptop via Citrix. I do not use this laptop for business purposes. I have downloaded the two files as you have suggested but I will only get a chance to run them tomorrow evening. I will post the results as soon as possible. Apologies for the delay.
