Greetings, it's my first time coming here and as you suspect I've come here because I have a problem.
As of last night my computer starting going really quite slowly and Internet Explorer started popping up randomly for no reason this was weird because I use Opera not IE I decided to check my Processes via Task Manager and it turns out there are many IEs running in the background of my PC, it was late and didn't do anything about it, I just went to bed.
Coming back to my PC today things have gone from bad to worse, my computer has started going even slower it even crashed a few times and I had to resort to hard-shutdowns to turn off my PC, after looking at my Processes again with Task Manager I was mortified at what I saw, so many Processes! There were dozens of copies of Internet Explorer, Opera, Utorrent to name just a small few! Upon looking at my CPU usage, my CPU was running at 100% all the time! I decided I'd try and do something about it.
I got my hands on 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' and performed a quick scan, after racking up eight errors Malwarebytes stopped responding and vanished, no matter what I tried I couldn't bring it to front again, so I turned off my PC again.
I turned it on again this time in safe mode and performed a system restore to a week ago '18 August 2013' alas the problem was still there, nothing had changed so I went into safe mode again and ran Malware Bytes, after the complete quick scan I removed 15 errors and rebooted my PC...nothing the problem still persists, I searched the Internet for awhile and found nothing to help my cause, so I came here. I hope you can help me identify this problem and fix it! :thumb:
