Iexplorer.exe

This is my first post and just joined the community today.  Iexplorer.exe is eating up CPU & Mem Usage? Is it a virus?  Running XP with IE 8.0.6001.18702.  with Norton Internet 2011 and is up to date.  I ran a full system scan today and it only found a few cookies to remove.   I have seen post here that suggest Iexplorer.exe is a virus.  This Iexplorer.exe slows down my pc until IE 8 status is " Not responding" and crashes the system.   I would appreciate any help with this.

 

Thanks again, 

Hello AntinTX

 

Is that a lower case L or a capital I in Iexplore.EXE?  The spelling of it could be indicative of malware also.
