If its for sure not spyware, then it is most likely the windows registry. You'll need to get a program like Registry Mechanic (not free) and scan your registry for problems.

You PC is infected with spyware/adware.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\nTry this scan, its free, it removes\nI-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!

sounds like you've picked up a prompt to install a program which contains spyware.  there are registry scan programs that also contain this spyware that you don't need.  i'd ignore it, close it, delete your cookies, and reboot your computer.

you can end the ie.exe task on the system manager. or u can turn it off with running "msconfig" at run and klik tab startup and you can unclick the ie.exe.

Yeah u probably have spyware running even if u dont want it. Im not sure, but try ctrl+alt+del, go to proceeseess, and see if there are any processes not running under SYSTEM, that seem suspicious. If you end a process, it will immediatly stop. Also, try searching your program files directory  and see if anything  got installed that seems suspicious.

It's likely to be a virus.  Spyware is usually for observing your internet surfing habits.

Assuming you were making the joke that Internet Explorer is as good as spyware, there are several ways to eliminate it. First, try right-clicking "my computer" - properties - "System Restore" tab - check "Turn off system restore on all drives" and press OK.\nNow, navigate to "C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Internet Explorer" and delete everything in that folder (make sure you don't currently have internet explorer windows open, and make sure you have some other way to access the internet, such as Mozilla Firefox).\nWait a few seconds, if you start noticing the files popping back up, then you're going to need to do something clever that I found out how to do on my own.. Navigate to C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92; and find a file called mstinit.exe ...if you run it you'll notice it doesn't do anything and it doesn't stay running, nor does it take up system resources. You should copy this file onto your desktop and rename it to iexplore.exe (or just iexplore if your file extensions are hidden (if you can't see the .exe at the end of the mstinit then file extensions are hidden and just name the file iexplore))\nNow, right click the newly renamed file and click copy, and then go back to C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Internet Explorer ..quickly delete the iexplore.exe in that directory and click paste (this must be done very quickly)\n\nI tried replacing iexplore with my own program that just automatically terminated, but windows would overwrite it with the original iexplore every time, until I realized that it looks at more than the file name, but doesn't go so far as to check the program's content. So I found a program that was included with windows that would automatically terminate if no arguments were provided, and that had a valid Microsoft program signature. The system restore checks look at the new iexplore.exe (formerly mstinit.exe), check for a microsoft signature, and then leave it alone. Now every time you click on a link to open internet explorer, mstinit will run and terminate, just as though you had uninstalled the microsoft beast.\n\nThere IS one drawback to this. This method only deletes the Internet Explorer shell, not the inner dlls and system workings. AKA you can still type a url into the address bar of a normal folder, and it will display the website using IE's protocols.\n\n\n\nMy apologies if this answer had nothing to do with the question at hand. If you truly are looking for a way to get rid of spyware, go to www.download.com and search for Spybot Search and Destroy\n\n[edit] PS, you should re-enable system restore after all that is done, it's a handy fallback [/edit]

If you want to see if there are any suspicious processes, download Process Explorer. Task manager does not give a description of what the processes are. Process Explorer even gives you an option when you righ-click on a process to google it to find out more info on that process.

It's a virus and trojan loader exploit.\n\nQuit using IE immediately, switch over to Firefox, and then download a whole battery of anti-virus and anti-trojan software and sweep and scan your machine immediately.

Try pressing "Win + U" (Win is that key with a MS Windows logo on), and check on the list of tasks if anything strange is on...
