holy small resolution, batman

anyway, I'm gonna have to chalk this up to malware. the fact that there's so many "rogue" processes is disconcerting from the start, but the fact that they also are showing significant cpu and memory usage indicated they're actually DOING something too.

Virus/spyware/Trojan scan ASAP
 
You might want to keep IE from executing while you are trying to clean things up. A rule blocking its execution by hash and a reboot will help.

How to from Microsoft.
 
If you use active desktop, you will have IE running, but I've never seen that result in 8 instances of it.
