The file is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\. When you start Internet Explorer, it will first launch IEUser.exe, which sets the security settings of Internet Explorer to the medium level. When Internet Explorer requires administrative privileges (such as to install an ActiveX control), the Admin Broker IEInstall.exe is used (which runs at high security).

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!

All comments about IEUser.exe: This porcess eats my full 1,8 GHz CPU in Vista nearly everytime i do anyting in Internet Explorer 7. Do I have to change back to Firefox?   Dr. Westphal keeps on wanting access 2 the internet (zone alarm security alert), i always deny it and my internet opens fine. it is located in the correct folder 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer', so y does it need access 2 the internet if internet explorer functions correctly? (p.s i think i have a virus on my computer but cant track it down so didnt know if this was it? looks like it only me havin this problem then?lol   paul probably a malware!   delldevil if you use IE it takes alot of memory and slows down your connection go to program files, internet explorer and delete this file and you pc will speed up and your internet connection will be faster   Jimz2003 vundo, also known as virtumonde and virtumundo is a nasty little trojan that starts ieuser whenever it wants to eat memory, the process itself is harmless(well, as harmless as internet explorer can be), but the reason it's started can be much more serious, vundo inserts itself into the windows core system32 files and is impossible to remove easily, none of the major retail anti-malware and anti-spyware i've used has gotten rid of it. if ieuser is starting without you opening IE then you probably have at least one trojan dicking around in your system, good luck with the little fuckers.   Alaska Netflix insant wasn't responding, I turned it off, It works now, but I can't resize the window.   Dr. Westphal, just set your security settings to low, and IEUser.exe wont be executed.   It had a trojan genric in it bitdefender detected it the trojan just make IE unsafe and easy to exploit.   John this thing is always running in my taskm. Even when EI isent running does this mean im infected? its located in C\program files\internet explorer   mikkel It's dangerous. It blocks internet explorer browsing completely, and locks up Windows Update in Vista so nothing can be downloaded. All IE settings are overwritten so you can't bring it down to anything below Medium security.   red2 Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieuser.exe   ieuser is used as a spyware, ieuser can see at your pc from another pc. It's used to watch peoples action from another pc, you can't remove it. so it's dangerous because the guy who put it on from another pc can track your paswords from email, bank, etc.   Tom Ockers Ieuser is a strong spyware attack and cannot be resolved, you cannot delete it, it's also not possible to first rename it and then delete it, what i suggested is to do a virus scan after a cold boot, a cold boot is boot from cd rom and then try to delete it, you can reboot with windows boot cd and then ask a path and then delete it. Or. You start your pc from the hard disk that windows is started, you go to google, then type in rescue disk kaspersky, that's a virusscanner. You set it on cd or usb. Then you shut down your pc and you put first the disc in the cd rom or usb in the ubsdrive. Then you start your pc again and run kaspersky rescue disk, you just follow the steps, it's easy and logical. When you are in kaspersky you scan everything. Normally it should find it. Goodluck   Tom Ockers is a dangerous spyware attack   Tom Ockers If you know more about IEUser.exe, share your knowledge and help other users.
