manually close down the iexplorer.exe to shut it down. IE is usually
NOT running when this happens. I have rum about 4 different ADware/
malware/spyware/virus scans but cant seem to shake it. Anyone?

Try these 2 programs below to remove it.
If they find it, but can't remove it; redo scans in Safe Mode.

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow

RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D
