Multiple iexplore.exe processes in Task Manager

[deltaGyrl]

My issue is that I have multiple iexplore.exe processes when I start launch IE. I have run MS Security Essentials (it found and removed Trojan-Downloader and a few others), but this did not resolve my issue. I have now run HiJackThis, but I am not sure what to do with this information. Please review the log below:

When it's done, if it asks to Reboot, choose to do so. This will remove files that could not be removed while Windows was running.
After Restart, log back in to your usual account.

Retrieve the List of Installed programs Using HJT
Open HijackThis (Right-click and "Run as administrator"), click Open The Misc Tools Section. Then scroll down the list if you need to, click Open Uninstall Manager and Save List...
The List of installed programs will automatically be saved as uninstall_list.txt in your HiJackThis folder.
In addition, the list opens in Notepad so you can also save as another name in another location if you wish.
Please paste the contents into your next reply.
