A few days ago I restarted my computer before a long time without re-starting it (like 1 week with the pc on) and I noticed that "Explorer.exe" was requesting to initialize, but the real explorer.exe task was already running... I said no but then I checked the directory of the file and the system said that the file was on %windir%/resources/themes, well going into folder to check if the file exists I noticed that theres nothing more than aero themes in this folder. So did a scan in the folder using malwarebytes and it recognized svchost.exe malware and explorer.exe, before adding they do quare

Hi! I recently got a virus that shows about 50 explorer.exe files on my processes section. I had Avira and scanned my computer with it, but no luck. Then I got Malwarebytes, and it detected 6 unwanted programs. I logged on to my profile, but the virus was still there! I then got Kaspersky, and it didn't detect anything. I was wondering if any of you could help me? PLZ!!

I have the paid version of 3 on my desktop. I downloaded trial version for my laptop. The trail cleaned a few PUPs out. On Laptop, while while using Windows Explorer, I get MB popups stating that it blocked outbound to such places as "click.smytratrafficfilter.com", "clicksgear.com", "popcash.cnet" and more similar toilet-sites. Details show it to be from "C:\windows\sysWOW64\explorer.exe" each time. I have manually scanned explorer.exe with MB and Norton, both OK. I removed the HDD from the laptop and attached as slave to desktop (yes I can) and scanned it with paid version of

Are these duplicate files normal or a virus? I have the latest version of mbam premium and my threat scan results are zero. I also downloaded the Farbar recovery tool to my desktop and ran a scan. I have copied / pasted the content from FRST.txt below. Please advise. I'm thinking it's not normal to see these duplicate files in task manager. I can delete one but when I reboot, they call come back in multiples.

Hi all, I found out i had some malware so i ran MBAM. I found lots of malware, but when i deleted it and restarted my laptop, my explorer.exe (and some other programs) won't start automatically after i login. I found out i can start explorer.exe manually but i would like to get every program to run automatically as before. I now found out that the malware i deleted is stil in quarantine, but if i try to restore some registry data, i get the message: "Can't restore an item marked for deletion on reboot" (ps: I restarted my laptop and no quarantined files seem to be deleted..) I h -
Hi, A few days ago I noticed cpu-usage levels were extremely high (100% most of the time). I closed all apps and restarted, computer starts out fine but as soon as I turn on wifi a Notepad launches by itself and computer starts getting really slow. Been noticing several cmd.exe processes open in task manager even tho I haven't launched command prompt. Same thing with conhost.exe msiexec.exe and notepad.exe and more than one explorer.exe Tried to run virus scan, nothing was found - althought Avast Antivirus keeps notifying me that it blocked a threat and that urls were being blocked such -
Hopefully someone can help, because after two straight days am at my wits' end. (The FRST log files are after this wall of text) It's a Windows XP SP3 machine, and the following was gleaned from Process Explorer program. Explorer.exe runs sluggishly immediately after logon, taking it's time to bring up the taskbar and desktop icons. It uses over half the processor (and Core 2 Duo 2.something GHz chip) when a window is opened (such as My Computer). It runs poorly but is at least stable, until it is given an internet connection. When connected, the main explorer.exe process then begins spawn -
I seem to be having problems with windows/explorer.exe. The symptoms are multiple instances of explorer.exe running with one of the instances using a majority of my RAM and CPU. Per instructions on your forum, I have installed and run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool. Attached are the two logs. Also per instructions I have uninstalled Skype. So far I have run the following (not necessarily in the order listed): TDSSKiller ComboFix adwcleaner Junk Removal Tool iolo Kapersky avast CCleaner Some of these found issues and claimed to have resolved them. I'm currently using Avast and Malwarebyt

Hello, few days ago I've discovered multiple explorer.exe processes. The main one is using 20-40mb of memory and the rest of them are using ~10mb of memory. I have my system protected by NIS 2014 for more than a year and didn't see any anomalies like this before. I scanned my WIn7 Pro with x64 Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (see attachments). I've also scanned my system with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Anti-Rootkit software but they didn't find anything suspicious. I've killed smaller ones (5) about an hour ago and only the main one is running ever since. I don't really know when did they started

My problem is very insidious, and also very weird. As soon as I connect to the internet, my CPU is flooded by multiple instances of ctfmon.exe, about 17 to 20 instances in the Task Manager. They appear only for a moment before disappearing again, but then multiples instances of explorer.exe (the Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer) pop up, using anywhere from 25% to 60% of my CPU. Sometimes, even multiple instances of dllhost.exe pop into the Task Manager as well. At this point, my malware removal and prevention steps have taken me through running in Safe Mode and running Malwarebytes Anti -
Hello, I installed Malwarebytes recently, did a scan, removed all the suspicious things but very often a window pops up with the following information: "Malicious website blocked Domain: IP: 194.165.0.3 Port: 6881 Type: inbound Process: C:\windows\explorer.exe " I don't know whether or not it's a virus, any help how to resolve this issue is very much appreciated. Thanks

Have contracted rootkit malware, noticed when multiple incidences of explorer and dllhost were running and explorer.exe tried to access internet (blocked by Malwarebytes). Per instructions elsewhere I have downloaded and run FRST.EXE and also Roguekiller. The FRST.TXT and ADDITION.TXT from FRST and the RKreport from Roguekiller are copied below. I downloaded and ran the premium version of Malwarebytes which found several instances of threats which I quarantined. Malwarebytes log also attached. Other than that, I have made no deletions or changes to anything. Hope I am doing this right.

I think i got infected on Friday 14th. A windows dialogue box appeared to install a genuine looking file, I clicked on OK to install it before Malwarebytes intercepted it. Ever since then it keeps displaying: "Malicious website blocked Domain: IP: 194.165.0.3 Port: 6881 Type: inbound Process: C:\windows\explorer.exe " and "Malicious website blocked Domain: IP: 79.35.131.29 Port: 6881 Type: outbound Process: C:\windows\explorer.exe " I tried the usual scans with Avast Internet Security, Malwarebytes Premium, Windows Defender and System Restore but no luck and nothing found.

I have downloaded countless virus and malware programs trying to solve my problem. Malwarebytes has helped massively it got rid of a werfault.exe and constant dllhost.exe error messages and removed so much infected files from my laptop but it hasn't fixed one problem and that's my taskbar keeps restarting. I have searched for hours trying to find a solution but no help. Also to add my system restore is affected and I get a error message when opening it. I am on windows 8 and I have no restore point or anything. sfc/scannow finds a error but can not fix it I also keep receiving a notification f

Hi can someone tell me what is static:4003 and why explorer.exe is connecting to it? Also is this a sign of a malware infection? I tried google but no luck. I heard that Windows 8 use explorer to phone home but I'm still not sure what it's doing. If someone could help me that would be great.

Hello, I've been struggling with some malware on my windows 7 home premium 64 bit home PC. About two weeks ago, I noticed something was wrong when the PC got really laggy and the cpu was pegged and RAM was full. After struggling into task manager, I found some sketchy processes, long story short some nasty .exe files hanging out in AppData that I used safe mode with command prompt to delete (havac.exe among them, if that rings a bell). I have all my files backed up, and have been going at this thing with malwarebytes and microsoft security essentials, as I don't know what else to do. Ever -
