FireBrick

running XP Pro on a AMD3000 machine.
Just today, machine seems to have slowed down.
If I go to Task Manager.
I see explorer.exe jumping in and out.
Shows up, 2% cpu use.
closes and then restarts
over and over.

Norton says I'm clean, ZA always running.
I don't open unknown emails and in fact don't even use
this machine for email.

Anybody know why this is occurring.
None of my other machines on the home LAN exhibit this
explorer.exe open/close frequency thing.
 
Reference earlier post below "something is wrong with my
"explorer.exe"......
I'm also having trouble with explorer.exe. No right click menu available
and when i try it it hangs and i have to kill explorer.exe in task manager.
You have Norton I see, and I just noticed this after downloading the Aug. 13
virus defs.......
Don't know if there is a connection...but there were no other changes to my
computer.......

Sounds like you've got a version of the "Blaster" worm.

Go to: Symantec.com website for a download of the MS
