I use Windows XP.
I have a couple of problems that Ive been unable to solve, the first is that I have two processes running under a fake iexplore.exe name, theyre not IE windows cause Ive none open, and when I kill these processes with task manager they reappear immediately, but they appear quickly with their (I suppose) original names which are NurbBook.exe and Seek Heart.exe, then they change back to iexplore.exe.
Additionally in my Program Files folder there are two directories which I know are not programs I installed, but I cant erase them, it tells me theyre in use, theyre:
1.- Mess iso setup (which contains the previously referenced Nurbbook.exe and other exes which I assume are up to no good) and
2.- Sect Coal Aim which contains one Fork Load.exe
Last but not least: I cant get rid of the VERY VERY #$%!#%& annoying searchtheweb toolbar!!! (and other stuff) even though Ive fully updated Mcafee AV, and AdAware and spyware removing tools such as SpyFerret, theres simply no getting rid of this toolbar! Or the viruses/Trojans/worms I mentioned before, ,I really hope you can help me.
