Did you scan with updated avast and spybot?? Or it can be an adware too. Avast detects some adwares, but i don't know as i was a XP user but now i am an OSS guy. :)

buddy ur system is not infected with any virus IEXPLORE.EXE is the exe file for internet explorer 7 and it will start automatically when ur system starts.

u can use msconfig to disable it ( i dont know the exact method )

check its location.
the file IEXPLORE.exe shud be in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
if not; its malware !
get it checked at *www.virustotal.com/en/virustotalf.html
if it turns out to be malware;
use deletedoctor from www.diskcleaners.com to delete it on reboot.
