TW,

Those are all ActiveX or Java in IE. It's the same class of problem in a different era.

In Firefox or Chrome, they are extensions. Some, like Java, have binary code, however most of those are Javascript.

Those automatically loaded programs do not run in IE. Load into the system and remain doing undefined things 'in the background'. Part of eliminating them include manual deletions in the Registry and AutoRuns to disable these programs from loading on power up.

In one case, I thought I had cleansed the Registry. To discover it reloaded on the next boot.

If you aren't logged in as admin, no changes will occur to IE.
