I'm very careful when it comes to my computer, but when I first got it, I was on a site where I received a download window in Internet Explorer. It downloaded something called ieframe.dll which is a legit process, but not the 12 MB version it installed. I have yet to see what it does, and I pretty much left it alone since it was an IE virus (At least according to research, it's supposed to block certain sites in IE and I usually use Chrome anyway)
I recently tried to delete it, but the Trusted Installer thing got in the way. I then changed permissions so I could delete it, and even after entering the password for my Admin account, it said I needed admin permission. I quickly checked to make sure it was an actual DLL. It was. It wouldn't let me delete it no matter what.
So I decided to delete IE since I don't use it anyway, and it wasn't in the Uninstall Programs window. I searched for iexplore.exe in Explorer and to my surprise came 69 applications named iexplore.exe each with the size of 757 kilobytes. What do I do? MBAM and Microsoft Security Essentials found nothing. I tried deleting them but the TrustedInstaller thing came up. I'd take the time to change the permissions of them all, but I figured it would be a repeat of the ieframe.dll thing.
TL;DR: For whatever reason I have 69 iexplore.exes all with the size of 757 kilobytes. What do I do?
