Hello, glennroy2007 -

You may not be aware, but typing in ALL CAPS is considered yelling in forums, and is also more difficult to read. Please don't.

Thanks.

iexplore.exe is typically the legit process for Internet Explorer, depending on it's location. Deleting it usually invokes Windows File Protection, which correctly replaces it.

Please follow our 5 Step process outlined here:
