I have been getting multiple iexplorer.exe processes opening at seemingly random times with no internet explorer open. This is usually accompanied by the same audio everytime. I think it's coming from a video of some kind, but it's not viewable anywhere. The only things it's affecting(as far as I can tell) is other programs closing randomly and slowing internet explorer. Any help that can be rendered would be greatly appreciated. Here's the HijackThis log and the uninstall log:
