Question Media Player Classic - Losing Focus to iexplorer.exe

Well the problem is that while watching videos in Media Player Classic in full screen mode every few minutes the player will switch to windowed mode. Which as you can imagine is extremely irritating.

The bad part about it is that I know this isn't just a meaningless bug. I randomly have iexplorer windows pop up on my desktop reading of one line phrases trying to get me to press an Ok button.

I am just sure that this is due to some malicious software. I have tried using Spybot Search and Destroy and AVG, but to know avail.

Has anyone had this problem before? If so did you find a fix?

Yes, I think you have some spyware/malware/trojans lurking in your system.

Have you also ran AdAware?

I tend to run AdAware in conjunction with SpyBot in the belief that what one misses the other may find.
