    I suspect you will not be able to download the file but try

    iExplore.exe Download Link

    When at the download page, scroll down and click on the click on the link labeled eXplorer.exe download link . When you are prompted where to save it, please save it on your desktop

    if this runs ( a black box will open and kill some running processes) then do not restart the PC but straight away

    Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, or MBAM, from the following location and save it to your desktop:

    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Download Link (Download page will open in a new window)

    install it , update it and do a full scan

    It has found no malicious files but says it has stability issues. Its offering repair and replace faulty files. Should I trust it?
