Iexplore.exe adware ffs... (solved myself i r hawt)

Featured Replies

Ok so my [developmentally delayed]ed brother downloaded two crappy games (without asking -.-), and with one came something similar in name to BitDownload. Ever since then in Control Panel I've had 1-3 instances of something called iexplore[Caution: Executable File] taking up my CPU and Ram. I know that that is the IE process, but this isn't that as I use firefox anyway. Of course I deleted all the games and this Bit thing btw.

 

So yeah I can't seem to do much to get rid of this, AdAdware brought up 43 things which I deleted and Avast was scanning but then I thought of doing System Restore, to no avail.

 

Also I'm getting loads of weird popups coming up so I'm guessing it's adware.

 

Here is a popup:

Halp.

 

Ty in advance.

 

EDIT: Just got a MASSIVE popup; It opened a whole new IE browser -.-

I suggest downloading "Spyware Doctor with anti-virus." You can google it and buy if you want. Or just scan with the trial one.

ty but i seem to have fixed it

 

I had something called CiD helper- that was the cause of this problem =_=

iexplore[Caution: Executable File] is some bs i would find the containing folder and delete. IT was made to look like iexplorer[Caution: Executable File] which is internet explorer.
