Why does iexplore.exe run when I scan my computer?

Question

Whenever I scan my computer with Webroot Spy Sweeper with Anti Virus, two instances of iexplore.exe open in my task manager. Is this normal? I do have IE8, so when I do run IE I get two processes anyway. Luckily for me, the iexplore.exe processes close when I end the scan. Is this a virus, or a glitch?

Answer 1

IEXPLORE.exe is Internet Explorer. It's not a virus, just a normal Windows process.
