Through my research I have found mixed results that iexplore.exe can be safe but also could be
a malware/virus/trojan so I wanted your excellent team to scout it out.
C:\Program Files (x86)\iexplore.exe*32 is legitimate file.
It's part of the tab crash/isolation process. Tabs run in separate instances. Nothing to worry about.
Hmm I just got back from work and checked the processes by all users and seeing multiple iexplore.exe again (this time only 5) (it was put to sleep when I was working)
the location is once again for ALL the mulitple processes are in C:\Program Files (x86)\iexplore.exe
could you explain
1)why both iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 is run under two different processes when IE browser is open)
2)Why there are mutiples of iexplore.exe even when IE browser is closed?
So how about the iexplore.exe running without IE browser? is it as you explained in your previous
post that about multi tabs, it should be running even when IE browser is CLOSED?
