Hi there everyone,

Earlier i just looked at my hijackthis log and noticed that it dosnt have the WINDOWS Explorer.EXE file anymore.

I havent removed it and nothing has been installed apart from a couple of Printers.

Is this normal or should i have Explorer.EXE ?

thanks for your time :tazz:

PS However i do see

explorer.exe

in the windows task manager.

It malware or something ?

I'm not sure what to say about the explorer.exe file missing form you computer. However I do know that explorer.exe in your task manager is a vital windows component. If you close it, it will shut down windows, and you will have to restart your computer.

Its not missing but it isnt showing in my Hijackthis logs but it is in the task manager.

In the Task Manager is it supposed to be :

explorer.exe

I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.
