    I have run both Ad-Aware and Spybot, neither shows any problems. Also my system seems to be operating normally. However, in using the SCU I noted the lack of an entry for explorer.exe. I then looked at past logs and found that it has been missing for weeks. Is this missing entry of any consequence? I am attaching a HiJack This log which also includes the start-up list . I did this because the are several entries under "Checking for Explorer.exe instances" that indicate that file not being present. There are other ,to me, interesting entries; i.e. the presence of several references to Symantec, Motown, and several others that I do not, to the best of my knowledge, utilize.

    please just post a standard hijackthis log so we can chek

    at a quick glance at the start up list it all looks fairly clean but the live update might be a concern but it's easier checked with a hjt log

    doubleclick the Hijackthis.exe.
    Click the "Scan" button, when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.
    Go to where you saved the log and click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.
    It will possibly show issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required,
    so do NOT fix anything yet.
    Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.

    I really don't understand the problem. o_O

    Explore.exe is a typical trojan or virus name and I would not want it in msconfig.

    Explorer.exe is present and running as it should.

    Judging from your HijackThis log you are running a reasonably clean ship.

    Regards,

    Pieter
