Hey one pump, welcome back.

The Iexplore.exe is a real pain in the ass. I've ripped a few out of computers (have a small comp business) and have found this to be the best way to go about it. http://www.fasterpccleanclean.com/iexplore-exe-errors
As stated, run an anti mal/spy ware program after shutting down load ups and doing your search. I have had good success with Malwarebytes and Spybot.

P.S. Run Malwarebytes in safe mode as well just to make sure. (You probably know but just in case you don't, F8 on startup, then choose safemode)

See you on the battlefield...

Can I suggest you install a proper antivirus / spyware program on your new HD?
And also, can IE and use firefox instead ! :)
