Why Do I Have so Many Iexplore.exe Running?In Feburary 2016 13,

Iexplore.exe is a process associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Web browser created by Microsoft. If you open the Windows Task Manager, by pressing 'Ctrl,' 'Shift' and 'Escape,' you may notice several instances of iexplore.exe running. This is most likely because you have several Microsoft Internet Explorer windows open at the same time. Each time you open a Microsoft Internet Explorer window, a corresponding iexplore.exe process runs. When you close the window, the iexplore.exe process stops.
Virus?
Some viruses install an iexplore.exe file that may appear in the Windows Task Manager as an iexplore.exe process. Viruses install files with the same name as legitimate Windows files in an effort to remain undetected. To determine whether an instance of iexplore.exe belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager and click the 'General' tab. Click 'Show Processes From All Users' and 'Image Name.' A list of all running processes appears in alphabetical order under the 'Image Name' heading. Right-click the first instance of 'iexplore.exe' and select 'Properties.' Click the 'General' tab. Next to 'Location,' it should say 'C:\Windows\System32.' If it does not, the instance of iexplore.exe likely belongs to a virus. Do this for all of the instances of iexplore.exe running.
Warnings
If there are multiple instances of iexplore.exe running and you do not have any Internet Explorer windows open, do not assume that the iexplore.exe processes belong to a virus. Some viruses launch the legitimate iexplore.exe process in an effort to connect to the Internet. Thus, you should still check to see whether the process belongs to a virus using the aforementioned method.
Removal
To stop an instance of 'iexplore.exe' that belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager, right-click the 'iexplore.exe' belonging to the virus and select 'End Process.' While this ends the process, it does not remove the virus. Thus, you should run an up to date anti-virus program. Several free anti-virus programs are available online, including Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast! Free Antivirus 6 and AVG Antivirus Free Edition.

How to Host a Essay Writing ContestIn Feburary 2016 09,

In Feburary 2016 09,
Decide on your topic. Your entrants need to know specifically what topic they should be writing on. Topics are directly related to the organization running the contest. For example, The Ayn Rand Institute sponsors several annual contests for essays about her novels.
Budget your time. Essays take time to write, read, and evaluate; therefore, you have to make sure you leave enough time to cover those three stages. The Anthem essay contest runs yearly with a submission deadline in March and a notification of winners in July. This means those participating can have up to a year to write their essay, but the judges have three months to read and evaluate the entries. Keeping in mind this is a well-publicized contest, you may not need as much time, but it is better to have more time rather than less.
Set the rules. The rules set the expectations for your entrants. First and foremost, you want to ensure you have set minimum and maximum word counts for the submitted essay. This is also where you decide if you will take multiple submissions from entrants, what the manuscripts should look like, who can or cannot participate. Most contests will not allow anyone directly affiliated with the organization running the contest to participate. Also determine if you are going to keep all submissions or return them.
Select the judges and request their participation.
Choose your submission method. Unless you wish to get a lot of mail, it is simpler these days to have essays turned in by email. However, you must keep in mind using a solely electronic method may limit your pool of entrants. Therefore, most essay contests have both an electronic submission method and a physical mailing method available.
Consider prizes. There is no bigger draw for a contest than getting something out of it. If you are not a very large organization, you may wish to offer exposure as an incentive instead of a monetary prize. Some contests make money to offer cash prizes through requiring entry fees. Entry fees can be a good or bad thing in that there will be a number of people who do not enter because of them, though it can bring in capital for those hosting the contest.
Advertise your contest. Consider using message board related to your topic or organization for advertising. If you have a mailing list, utilize it to get the word out for your contest.
Notify your winners on time and make sure you come through with your prizes. One quick way to ruin your reputation as a contest is not to follow through on your promises.
