Iexplore.exe is Running in the Background, Music and Ads Are Playing Over My Speakers

Hi,

Yes, I checked all three steps.

I then reinstalled Java.

Then checked all three steps again.

I got the same results after re-installing Java.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you.

I got Java working. Here were my steps:

Let Secunia guide me to install the latest updates for IE7 and Windows XP SP3
Restart the PC

I had to turn off Avast! and Ad-Aware during downloads and installations or they would stall or lockup.
I had to perform two rounds of the Windows updates until the Secunia warnings went away.
Use Revo Uninstaller 1.80 to remove the current version of Java Version 6 Update 12
Restart the PC
Download the on-line installation version of Java Version 6 Update 12 to the desktop
Close the browser
Install Java
Open JavaRa.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
Exit JaveRa and delete the program
Run CCleaner
Restart the PC
Test the Java installation here

Everything appears to be working now.

Two questions:

I was uncomfortable with turning off Avast! and Ad-Aware during the downloads and installations. Is there anything to check/scan?
I installed alot of software to fix my problems. Which ones can I remove?

Thank you again for your help and guidence.

Keep MalwareByutes and SUPERAntiSpyware. Update and run them now and then. Anything else you can keep or remove except for ComboFix. Be sure it's gone.

Combofix is gone.
I will follow your recommendations with SuperAnti-Spyware and Malwarebyte's.

Thanks again.

I' so happy!!!
