    I am starting to notice two strange programs that are showing up when I hit Ctrl/Alt/Del.
    iedriver
    ieupdate
    Any ideas about what these are and where they are coming from ???
    I guess they have something to do with internet explorer but why didn't I notice them before ??

    Hi Bob

    NO!

    They have nothing to do with Internet Explorer.

    They have to do with Spy/Adware installed by a P2P program called URLBlaze. They effect both your privacy and the performance of your computer.

    To remove them D/L and run the following:

    Spyware and adware removal

    SpyBot http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
    Run this twice delete all it finds, "ALWAYS" run this before AdAware.
    Leave all it wants to leave after the second run.

    AdAware 6.0 http://www.lavasoft.com
    Run only after SpyBot!
    Make sure to configure to Max settings, all files and compressed files.Delete all it finds

    BHO Demon http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
    A BHO is like a autostart/startup that only runs when you run the Browser.
    This program runs stand alone no install is required post me the items it finds other than the below. Normal entries here would be Acro….. (Acrobat Reader) or Nav…. (Norton Anti virus).
