Hi,

I need help to clean my system. I'm running XP Pro SP2. Every time I reboot, IEXPLORE.EXE runs automatically. I'm guessing it's something to do with the following, but I'm no expert. I haven't changed anything as yet…

I did run the following but nothing showed up: AdAware, Spybot and Rootkit Revealer.

1. This was in ZoneAlarm's log, but it no longer exists on my system:
C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop\installer.exe

2. These seem suspicious to me and still exist on my system (they have no version tab saying "Microsoft" nor anything else in their properties):
C:\WINDOWS\uximbr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winnet.dll (<< not wininet.dll)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmang.exe

3. This points to the "winnet.dll" above, and claims to be "Yahoo ToolBar". I have never installed the Yahoo toolbar:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BE756CFF-ADB4-4bc5-A35F-19E546E5710E}

4. This is a service I don't remember seeing before:
"Windows Task Manager"
pointing at: C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmang.exe
startup type: automatic

5. Here is my HijackThis log file:
