I think that I have a Virus

The problem is that I have 2 iexplore.exe open, and when i try to delete them they disappear for a second and a task called HIDEME~!.exe pops up and the return.

I don't even use IE and they still show up.

I have run AVG free, AVG spy ware, and Spy bot, that did not help.

I have even searched for HIDEMe~1.exe and deleted it, but that did not help either.

What can I do?

yup sounds like a bug to me! boot to safe mode and run your scans make sure you turn off system restore if it isn't already you might try an online scan as well

run hijack this and use the log analyzer as well! http://www.hijackthis.de/en

okay, I'm running an online scan. After that I am going to run my anti-viruses in safe mode.

I hope this works.

Im on my other computer, im running my anti-virus in safe mode. It has already picked up some spyware it did not get earlier.

Well, it did not help. The iexplore.exes are still there.

hmm check msconfig and see whats starting up? did you check hijack this? It doesn't really look like you have any bad services other than the two iexplorers

Okay this was kinda funny, hijackthis told me that it was an unknown.

It also told me that something else was not harmful but also useless, so I turned it off and about 5 things stopped on start up and the iexplore is gone.

Thanks
