I am having the same problem that Sean Oats is having. I
will open my IE and close it when finished, and find out
that I have as many as 8 instances of IE running still!
This is only when I use IE itself through my broadband,
and not on AOL. Any time, it seems, that I go to another
webpage, it creates another IE showing up in my
taskmanager. Please help.....it's slowing my computer
down! This has only been happening since spring, so could
it have anything to do with the last critical update in
April?

Follow the instructions carefully.:

Go to
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html ,
or
http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.php#hjt
and download HiJackThis. Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the
Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix
anything yet.

Open the copy of your log in NotePad and make a copy. Then you can go here
