| if you go to show details and look closely at the file name you will see that look a likes are spelled incorrectly. The one that I blocked was named iexplore.exe I highly doubt that Microsoft misspelled a name of their file
|
The informer
| Although they are correct, I have seen cases where IEXPLORE.EXE has been on and the browser not actually on. This is usually after a virus has been on your computer leaving nasty spyware undetectable by many scanners.

| I have blocked / renamed / deleted this yet it keeps coming back! I don't ever use internet explorer yet it seems to open for a second every few seconds as a system process.
No matter what I try it keeps coming back.
The version on my pc is definitely third party malware. (and not the usual windows malware)

| I have 3 instances of ctfmon.exe process information -windows internet explorer. why are there 3?
|
jted
| I have 3 instances running also. I noticed that I coincidentally have 3 applications open (Glary Main Prog, Glary Process Mgr, and IExplore.exe), and the start times of those 3 instances (shown under "details")seems to coincide with the times that each of the applications opened. Unless I read otherwise here, I'll assume this is correct.

sam
| I have 3 of these running, with various sizes from 70KB another is 75 KB, and another is 21KB...all showing the same levels. how many of these are you supposed to have?

| Why does it say NetFlix - Windows Internet Explorer? What does NetFlix have to do with IE8? I do not have NetFlix installed nor do I use NetFlix for anything. Not on my coputer so why is this like this?

| this is POOR and there should not be any crashes at all.there is usurpation and direction to other sites and browsers in the system.
which is considered to be disgraceful if commercial activity by the browser companies themselves.
