Hi Rajkiran,

First, you can't uninstall Internet Explorer anyways, so that's not a
solution. If IE runs as a process, it usually indicates malware. You might
want to rerun the scans, only this time in safe mode where the malware is
less likely to be active. When active, it can often mask itself from
detection and removal.
