[foreverxyoung]

hey, um where would this back up or repair folder be >_>

 

[Blitze105]

go to:
C -> windows -> repair

idk if it is there

 

[Blitze105]

Did you type the file in EXACTLY? i re read your thread title.

IExplorer.exe is a trojan

 

[ZeroX]

yeah sounds like a virus of some sort.

do the whole scan thing i you should find some stuff.

 

[Blitze105]

If it is a virus.
here is how to fix it.

Hit cntrl + alt + del -> click on processes -> end Iexplorer.exe

then go to:
start -> run -> type 'regedit"
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft ->
Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run On the right, look for IExplorer.exe and delete it if it is there.

Now try some online scans:
