Iexplore.exe Malware

[Kenneth]

HiI'm not very computer savvy but I am fairly certain that my computer has a virus. I've used numerous virus scanners that all come up empty, but I've done some research and found out about a common virus that runs as a process called iexplorer.exe. I have this virus, while I don't have any internet explorer browsers open, one or even multiple iexplorer.exe processes are open in task manager. They use huge amounts of memory that gradually increase eventually crashing my computer. It also automatically starts up when my computer is started and pops back up after closing the process in task manager. I really need help removing this! Again I'm not very computer savvy so I apologize for any difficulties that it might cause.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

I've tried the JRT program multiple times, leaving it sit for atleast an hour each time, and it never seems to do anything. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or simply am not waiting long enough but I have to be at my computer closing down the iexplorer.exe process every 15 seconds so it doesn't crash my computer.

After JRT is downloaded to your Desktop all security has to be turned off before running the tool. When JRT starts you should see a black cmd box, at the bottom is the nag "press any key to continue" after that it should be on auto...

The file you are closing is iexplore.exe not iexplorer.exe That file you close is related to Internet Explorer. If you have Internet Explorer opened at the homepage and open Task manager you will see 2 entries for the file iexplore.exe if you open another Tab you would see 3 entries, another tab would produce a 4th entry named iexplore.exe and so on....

So you have Internet Explorer running, only one tab open at the home page. Open Task manager, stop one entry of iexplore.exe It will automatically open again, so you are back to two entries for iexplore.exe. Internet Explorer is supposed to do that so it does not close it down totally.

Can you open Internet explorer, then Task manager. Do nothing else, just leave internet explorer open at the homepage, monitor Task manager. What happens, is there only two entries of iexplore.exe or do you see more entries multiplying

Maybe this is where the problem lies, Windows Explorer file name is explorer.exe Internet Explorer file name is iexplore.exe You say the problem file is iexplorer.exe

Well before seeing you post I had disabled internet explorer and when I restarted my computer the iexplorer.exe was gone... But now explore.exe is duplicating and causing crashes. Should I still do the search?

Its was acting very strange, it was definitely the explorer.exe process, but after it crashed the first time from it, I restarted it and nothing is wrong now, there are no duplicating processes or processes that should not be open that are. I guess that I will see how it goes for a while but as of now it looks like its back to normal. Thanks for the help!

We still need to run an online AV scan to ensure there are no remnants of any infection left on your system that may have been missed. This scan is very thorough and well worth running, it can take several hours please be patient and let it complete:

When I'm playing my online game I always got an error and I can't find a fix for this. Then I search through internet and I found out that I have a virus installed on my pc. When I go to C:\Users\pc\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu and delete tyckuhm.exe it says its running from iexplorer.exe and when I close iexplorer from task manager and delete the file again, it works. But after a few minutes it backs again and the explorer.exe is running again. I already scanned and uses malwarebytes and antivirus but it can't fix it. Help me please.

Sorry for the late reply. So far so good. The virus/malware has been removed to my pc. The iexplorer.exe is not running again in the background. My browser is running smooth again. Right now my problem is my ram. I can't play my games because of my 2gb ram. Thanks a lot @kevinf80. I don't have any donation to give right now because I'm problematic about my ram and I don't have any money for that. God bless Kevin, thank you for the great big help!

The genuine iexplore.exe file is a software component of Windows Internet Explorer by Microsoft.

Internet Explorer is an Internet browser developed by Microsoft. Iexplore.exe is the installation file of Internet Explorer and does not pose a threat to your PC.

Developed by Microsoft, Internet Explorer is a series of graphical web browsers that are part of the Windows lineup of operating systems. It is one of the most widely used web browsers, and was introduced with Plus! for Windows 95 that year. Internet Explorer was replaced with Microsoft Edge in 2015, which makes IE 11 its last release. Internet Explorer is still included with Windows 10 mostly for enterprise purposes.

Founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the Microsoft Corporation, headquartered in Redmond, Washington is an American multinational technology company that is renowned for its Windows lineup of operating systems, Internet Explorer web browsers, Xbox video game consoles and Microsoft Surface tablets. Microsoft is derived from the words "microcomputer" and "software".
