Internet Explorer is not my default browser, and yet I am now getting random popups from it. I use Opera mainly. I have tried running Windows Defender and found no issues. However I am finding it curious that I cannot end iexplore.exe process, as it immediately returns to the task list once ended.
Here is my HijackThis Log, I want to nip this in the bud before it develops into further spyware or exploits.
