My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

suggestion?

Same as the suggestion for your other post. I suspect they are related.

Ah, so that was you who replied to me. I got an email (and responded to it)
that I couldn't quite figure out who it was from or what it was about. Now I
know.

You did try malware scanning? In safe mode with the latest definitions? I'd
strongly guess that's the reason if a repair installation of IE did not
effect and removal of the BHOs wasn't the problem either. It may be that you
need to dig even deeper I'm afraid:

When you understand that (and it's not that hard - that's just there for the
people who really want to get into it deeply) then post a copy of your log
here:

BEFORE you post your log make SURE to read the Announcement at the top of
the page AND read the second sticky down about making good use of their free
time.

I have had the same problem for months. I have tried every malware/adware
fixer around, but it still locks up very often. Sometimes I have 3 or 4
"iexplorer.exe" processing running at one time. I can't figure out how to
get rid of the problem.

iexplorer.exe is spyware or a virus. The MS programs are iexplore.exe
(Internet Explorer) and explorer.exe (Windows Explorer).

My apologies, I have multiple "iexpore.exe" in my processes (not
"iexplorer.exe") as I mistakenly typed. I have tried so many adware/malware
removers my head is spinning. It seems that if I click on a link while IE is
open, another IE window opens, the freezes PC.
 
If there are multiple copies in Task Manager but they do not appear on the
taskbar I still think the problem is malware.

Frank, Thank you, I am sure you are correct that the problem is malware. I
will have to keep trying to find the culprit. Not sure what to try next,
however.
 
I have tried all those suggestions more than once. I have run adware, sypot,
NAV & eiwdo software many times. It seems that if I have IE open, and click
a link, another IE window opens and THAT one seems to freeze. It is then
that I will see multiple copies of "iexplore.exe" running in the processes.
May have to switch to netscape!!
Unless you can solve this dilema.
Thanks!
