Post #1
My problem began after extracting a RAR file with a 'supposed' codec application and installation a month ago. Since then, my system is completely slow and Internet Explorer browsers now begin to pop up inadvertently. (I am a Mozilla user and stay away from IE completely) I check my computer processes and see several IEXPLORER processes running that I have to 'end task' on just to get my system functioning relatively smoothly again. But after several minutes, those IE processes begin again.
I've run my Ewido micro scans and isolated infections that I quarantine and then delete, but this infection persists.

My system:

INTEL 335D 2.8GHz Celeron SYSTEM
128MB ATI RADEON 9200 Video 128MB DDRAM w/TV-OUT & DVI, USB 2.0, 7200RPM PERFORMANCE DRIVE, DVD-BURNER/CDRW and 512MB of RAM.
Running Windows XP.
76 GB HD with 19 GBs free.

Okay I ran the Riyo Codec removal utility (FixWareOut.exe) as per the instructions.
Then I ran the ATF Cleaner.

Here is my posted Fixwareout report:
