Uhh, no. If iexplore.exe was being replaced each time, then the virus is somewhere else.
I ran full virus checks with both Mcaffee and AVG, and nothing was found...No CPU problems either. No signs of the virus anywhere

there's a feature where Windows will restore modified or deleted files to their former selves to protect the OS from idiot users. If you're lucky it'll have a backup of the file and Windows will restore the file by itself.
