Okay, so the subject pretty much says it all. I've found that explore.exe will be running at all times. I will hear random page refresh clicking sounds. If I for whatever reason leave my computer on overnight, the next morning I have 1 or 2 popups there.

Did a little research on this on my own, ran multiple scans with SUPER AntiSpyware Free Edition (I don't have the money to spend on this kind of thing when there are ways to do it manually). All kinds of cleanups and restarts, only to find it always comes back.

So I did the last thing I could think to do, and that was to go through each of my processes manually and see google them to see what they were capable of doing. I did find one process, C3Gd0Ij3.exe, that returns NO results on google. I took the risk, ended the process tree (just in case) and bam, I was able to actually kill the iexplore.exe process and it didn't go all zombie on me.

So I went through to find this C3Gd0Ij3.exe and related files on my computer and deleted them with no problems. I decided to run another full scan of my computer in case it was still moping around somewhere and hoped it was more vulnerable to removal, being offline. Well, about 4 hours later, the process randomly starts up again! The files I deleted are back and I grow weary of fighting this alone with my limited experience.

So, I come asking for help. Rather lengthy post but I wanted to convey as much information as I could. I've not posted here before so if you could email me that would be great, thanks!
