I still want a full screenshot of your msconfig startup list.

Start -> run -> msconfig -> startup tab

and Benji/RacinReaver brings up an interesting point. Do you have Active Desktop enabled?

You most likely have rootkit, that why you can't see it.

I turned on Active Desktop yesterday on my computer to test that, but IE didn't show up in my task manager when I did.
