iexplore.exe playing music etc

[Pink Sparkle Girl]

I recently posted a problem about having unwanted music playing on my PC
which isn't mine nor playing through any action I had done. Today my PC
started talking (some TV show or other, no image) and I found that an
IEXPLORE file was to blame and when closed it the audio stopped.

I have broadband, but although connected to the internet I didn't have
Internet Explorer open at the time so there shouldn't have been any iexplore
files in task manager, but there was two.

How do I find the culprit staring up iexplore in the background? I ran
Norton and Ad-Aware, but they found nothing. I have HijackThis, but couldn't
find anything obvious.

Any help appreciated!

Broadband via Cable or DSL??

Your problem "seems" to look like you may be having signals overlaping
where the audio/video signals play over the Internet signals. This
could be true with only cable based Internet since most of the time
the cable TV providers can provide radio signals as well as Internet
over the same coax cable.

I use broadband via DSL, so it's not a cross over signal.

Try an IE group. Someone there may have seen this before.

- Look through the Add-Ons for anything suspicious.

- Look through ActiveX components for anything suspicious. Click Tools,
Internet Options, General tab, Settings button, View Objects, select
Details view. Right-click any suspicious object, click Properties and
see what information is available. The path here with IE7 may be
slightly different.
