IE And Thunderbird Start On Their Own

Lately I've been seeing multiple, 5 or 6, entries for Iexplore.exe and Thunderbird.exe in my Task Manager. I haven't started these programs and nothing is showing on the desktop or task bar. The entries are all using 64k memory and no computer resources. I've scanned with Nod32, Trojan Remover and Spybot and can find nothing that would cause this activity. My Windows and Nod32 are up to date. I don't notice any ill effects when this happens. No performance losses and no hangs. I am able to close the entries with Task Manager, but they come back eventually. The entries were not there when the Hijack log was run. If no one can see anything, I'll try to run when the entries are in Task Manager. They never happen when you want them to.

Thanks.

Ed

Hi edjer
Your profile says you're in Massachusetts
But this comes back as being in Broomfield, Colorado.
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{7E073387-28E6-4160-A279-DD68D888C5CB}: NameServer = 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2
So where are you located?

Geri

 

I'm in Massachusetts. The DNS servers belong to Verizon. They are probably in Colorado.

Thanks for answering.

Ed

 

Hi edjer
OK Thanks.

I'm not seeing anything in your log.

Lets get an on-line scan.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on "Accept" If your pop "“up blocker blocks any windows from opening.

Click Run on the window that opens.
Windows Vista users you must open the web browser using the Run as Administrator command.

• The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
• Under Scan on the left side.Click on My Computer
• This will start the program and scan your system.
• Click the "Scan Report" On the left side.
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
• Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Click the Save Report As button, and in the Browse dialog box, type a name for the scan report file that you want to create and select its type Text file. Click OK to save the file.:
• Save the text file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Please post the Kaspersky results.

Thanks
Geri

 

I did the critical areas scan online. The report came up as a blank page. Supposedly, it found 2 problems but I don't know what they are. Probably cookies but I'm not about to do the scan again. Took hours.

Thanks.
Ed

 

Hi Ed

Kaspersky doesn't normally detect cookies.

OK, Yes it can be a lengthy scan, lot of files in a operating system.

With no kaspersky results to view (The report came up as a blank page), then you should be clean of malware. Do you still have multiple entries of Iexplore.exe and Thunderbird.exe in your Task Manager?

Geri

 

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. I "fixed" my computer to the point where I was getting BSODs and other weird stuff quite frequently. Never did find the problem, but I have now started with a clean install of Windows XP X64, which I've always wanted to try. I love it so far and the only problem is no driver for the Scanjet 3300C. This is my way of cleaning my computer of useless garbage and I seem to do it once a year. I think, subconsiously, that I want it to fail so I can get off my butt and clean up my clutter.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Ed

 

Hi Ed
OK thanks for letting me know.

Geri
