    Sounds like a virus.

    BUT!

    Did you try the repair tool?

    Sounds weird as a possible virus as Prophet mentioned.
    On my Windows 98 IE6 computer I never have iexplorer
    running the background. Only explorer, needed, running.
    You may want to try, if virus tools don't help,
    Start/run/msconfig and uncheck the box "load startup
    group items" and then reboot.
    See if the prob is still present.
    Good luck.
