Problem Summary: Suspected fake internet explorer

My cpu usage was running at 100% capacity. I went it to task manager to see which programs were attributing to this and it happened to be IEXPLORE.EX, using all the usage, whils there was another one using nothing...it happens even when off line. I can end the process, but not actually find the file to delete, even through services. And when the comp is restarted it reappeares running at max....im certain that it is not real, and cannot find the file location to properly remove it. Thank you any help would be great
I cant find its location so I cannot attach it specifically but its IEXPLORE.EXE
