Multiple iexplorer.exe on task manager

Everyone is having the same problem. We all download the same "virus",
"spyware" etc...
Maybe it is in the MS updates...hmm...
I have the same problem and here is how it went.
Multiple iexplorer.exe, close Iexplorer and 1 to 6 stay in task manager.
Read post after post, ran virus scans after virus scans, ran spyware scans
and more spyware scans. I gave up!
Had a brand new hard drive that I have been wanting to put in my laptop so I
decide to redo os on laptop.
Loaded OS, Laptop Drivers, and MS updates and that is it, nothing eles.
guess what?? as I'm typing this I have One Internet Expolere with one tab
plus window I'm typing in. I have 4, FOUR iexpolere.exe running in task
Manager.

Dame that "virus" was on my brand new hard drive too!!!


Here an extra twist people should check out. I have not checked it yet on
this new drive but the old on....Google Chrome did the same thing as iexplore.

So again I don't think it's a "Virus" to say, but it would be nice to see
why it's happening.

Hi,
I do not know why Chrome is doing this, but in the case of Internet Explorer
(IE8 ?) it's normal.

The additional IE processes are created to make Automatic Crash Recovery
possible.
