Suspected Iexplore.exe malware

[dh1112]

Hi,

From 29/10/2015, i have noticed i have been infected with what appears to be a malware that takes on the name "Iexplore.exe".

Shortly after bootup, multiple iexplore.exe processes can be seen in task manager, and gradually build up to using 100 percent of my CPU, and around 1gb of my ram. So far, the maximum amount of iexplore.exe tabs I have seen were 7. All of these were running, even though I had not opened internet explorer (since i use chrome). Also, ive tracked the file location of each process, some are found in Programfiles\internetexplorer and others in programfiles(x86)\internetexplorer.

Also, i have noticed a popup has shown up on my desktop a few times, under the title of "Javascript". It states, "Microsoft has detected a porn virus on your computer", or something along those lines, and i have closed it everytime I have seen it. I have performed the suggested scans and have attached the logs.

I would greatly appreciate any help, as this malware has been using draining my laptops performance, internet connection and battery.

Thanks

*Hi

If it is a school laptop, then give it to school IT department for repair.

That was my original plan, but I have reconsidered this for 2 reasons,
1. We are currently in exam period, so we do not have classes or attend school.
2. My schools IT department is ridiculously slow, the repairs would take upwards of 2 weeks.
