Since yesterday my PC has been minimizing full screen games whilst i am playing about once every 5 mins & i have noticed that everytime it does it i end up with "IEXPLORE.EXE" running in task manager even if i'm not using internet explorer.

This afternoon i booted my PC up, once it had finished loading all the programs installed i locked it & went downstairs to get a drink, whilst i'm downstairs i started hearing loud music from my room, went back upstairs, PC was playing a sound clip over and over from "Bodyrockers - I Like The Way You Move", i have no music on my PC so i dont know where thats come from.

Went in my room, PC Still locked, put password in & theres nothing on the desktop, no open windows or anything but the music is still playing & i notice IEXPLORE.EXE is there in task manager again, so i closed it & the music stopped.

AVG isnt finding any viruses, i've run spybot S&D that found some but it's still doing it & lavasoft adaware crashes when i do a scan.

Any ideas??

Just the name - IEEXPLORE.EXE seems wrong.
Best Google it and find out what others are doing to fix the problem.

I cant find anything on google.
