iexplorer.exe system task/audio/fullscreen ie popups.

Unread postby dorendac » July 15th, 2010, 12:54 am

First lost audio. Then noticed iexplorer.exe as two system tasks. Getting fullscreen pop-up ads in ie. Possibly, strange behavior in Firefox, where it asks to clear histroy on statup as well as shutdown.

I've searched the web and found descriptions of similar things, but no solution. CiD trojan or virus? Terminal Services trojan or virus? Don't know.

Things I've tried:

killing iexporer.exe system tasks-- they come right back.
removing any iexplorer.exe files found in odd places.
renaming iexplorer.exe and iexplorer.exe.mui files in Program Files/Internet Explorer.
System restore from a restore point
Removing older/unused programs using Add/Remove software.

Running the following:

Malwarebytes
SDFix
TrendMicro Housecall
TrendMicro cwschredder
TrendMicro Antivirus 30-day tria
SUPERAntiSpyware
Microsoft Malicious Software Tool

None of them can even detect what is wrong.
