If you Google the file name LEXPLORE.EXE you'll find several different
malwares that use that file name ... and not just Sodabot. Are you
sure you aren't just having problems with IE? You do know that
iexplore.exe is the file name of IE, I suppose. The lower case "L" can
be confused with the upper case "i" .... l and I might look the same
and cause confusion.
If you definitely have a LEXPLORE.EXE where the first letter is
actually "L" you might well have one of several different malwares.
Upload the suspect file to Virus Total to see what malware names
the various av products assign and let us know:
