Hi,

I use windows xp sp2 professional.
Each time i start teh computer, an program (with capital letters)
IEXPLORE.EXE tries to act as a server. I have to do ctrl-alt-del and delete
that process manually. That file is created in several places
(windows\addons or windows\pchealth or in other directories of \windows.

How can i get rid of that and prevent the creation of that file?
Thanks
André

It sounds very much like your computer is infested with viruses/malware.
Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with either Sysclean or Multi_AV, plus Ewido. Do all
prep/finishing work and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe
Mode.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
