iexplore.exe Always running in Task Manager

[CBSk]

I have used Windows XP with SP2. Recently I note that iexplore.exe is running in Task Manager. When I end that process it automatically loaded after few seconds.

I scanned my system with NOD32 anti-virus and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware with updated databases. But no infections Found in system.

Also I noticed that msconfig startup entry shows an entry as,

Iexplore - C:\WINDOWS\system32:iexplorer.exe

I can't delete this entry. When I uncheck this entry, an new entry will be added automatically.

Can anyone help me to remove this?
