Yes but it not iexplore.exe, it has no process name when I click go to process in taskmanger. It shows under applications in taskmanager when internet explorer is not open and under the processes menu there is not iexplore.exe running when it's running. It is there as soon as the pc turns on, i have been doing google searches but i cannot find anything related to this issue, i'm scared because my antivirus does not see it after full scans and I cannot even get its process name. It came after my antivirus detected something called purityscan and various other things from a message that came up on this website saying it wants to run the following active x content or something, and silly old me accepted it.

Do a Google Search for this.  You can also start by looking here.

go to processes and find it there then go www.processlibrary.com and search the .exe there or download the process scan and it should scan ur pc if anything is wrong and tell u what it is.
