Explore.exe infected?


Recommended Posts

Hi All!

So I have run FRST and done the repairs with the help if the Britec guys. Now FRST shows up clean and still I get Malwarebytes saying it is blocking both inbound and outbound access! I have attached the outbound notices. Based upon the notices does this mean that explore.exe is infected? If so, how do I fix it?
