    Hi zucca08

    Looks all normal to me...

    While I'll admit that you do have too many svchost.exes running, C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe is a perfectly normal Windows system application, and is required to run. So I'll say that Windows is just taking up too much of your resources...

    Best Regards :D

    Hmm... that's funny. I don't see iexplorer.exe in your running processes...

    Could you follow these instructions to post a Malwarebytes log?

    Post A Log

    • A text box will pop up after the removal process is over. Post the contents of the text here.
    • If no text box pops up, launch Malwarebytes, and click on the tab Logs.
    • The logs will appear as mbam-log-*date-*time.txt. Select the latest one, and then click on Open.
    Post the log here.

    Best Regards :D

    Hey zucca08

    Sorry for the very late reply... I was busy and couldn't get online.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've decided to wipe out your system... it wasn't necessary. Iexplorer.exe is a relatively easy-to-get-rid-of trojan, and definitely was not worth a format.

    Best Wishes :D
