explorer.exe and winlogon.exe come up as viruses?

After you get your computer up and running, make sure you have a good anti-virus program. I recommend AVG Antivirus. It's free and works great. I install it on all the computer that I build and work on. It's available at http://free.avg.com/us-en/download-free-antivirus. I would also recommend a second program. It's called Spybot Search and Destroy. It is a very useful tool to help from getting infected by malware and spyware, which antivirus programs do not protect against. It is available at http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html. Download and install it and make sure to run it at least once a week if not everyday. I install it on every computer that I build and work on also. With these two programs, you will make it harder for your computer to become infected with Virus's and Malware. It won't make it impossible, but harder.

Good Luck.

That was the point of my post. Now that he has it fixed, he needs to make sure he has protection installed so that this doesn't happen again.:chair:

Hi! I know you said problem has been solved, but follow my instructions just incase.

Viruses mainly bind on process such as "explorer.exe"

Don't bother deleting them manually, they'll reproduce. You'll need to remove the HKCM registery with [ame="http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html"]malwarebytes[/ame].

How to remove?

Step 1: Download & Install Malwarebytes
Step 2: Run a full scan.
Step 3: Delete all the detected infections.

If you're still uncertain that you're infected.

Quit all programs that require internet, steam, ventrillo, firefox, ect.

Start > CMD "run as admin" > type "netstat -b" and look for foreign addresses, things with random IPs

- Bole.

P.S: Malwarebytes doesn't guarantee virus removal, I just posted the whole guide even tho it was posted before, for future reference, and for other people's problems.

Wow, this thread is quite old, I just noticed, should be closed by now.
