I´ve found service.exe what seems to be a trojan, then searching for info,
explorer.exe seems to be a copied file of certain worms, including many of
those who
use service.exe....
Someone commented that legitimal explorer.exe are files are stored in
c:\windows
and remaining are viurs, safe to delete...

So My question is:

I´ve found explorer.exe files in:
c:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB820291$
C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch (called EXPLORER.EXE-082F38A9)
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386

Are those trojans / virus or are legitimal windows files? Should I leave it
as is or remove some?
Help please!

Thanks!

Click to expand...

Those are all legitimate places for a real explorer.exe to be.
