Could be just a bug.

Reboot and start the app from the command line with Task Manager open. If you find that it's about to bring the machine to its knees, kill it. Then find the bug
Seems like .exe has been associated with IE as the default program.
You will need to fix it by editing the registry.
Please follow the steps in the following MS Article to fix the issue.
When you run an .exe file on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7-based computer, the file may start a different program
