Possible malware in explorer.exe file, have I got malware?

Viruses and worms

Hi everyone!

I would need help determining if I have received malware. My Avast Anti virus has been sending up this box for the past few hours at 10 minute intervals. I’ve tried scanning with Avast but nothing comes up. The only way to get the box to stop is by ending processes explorer.exe in Task Manager which is connected to C:/windows/syswow64/explorer.exe.

There is also another explorer.exe in Task Manager which is connected to C:\Windows.

I have OS Windows 10.

Attached photo remarkably similar to one I got May 6.

If going to risky sites best to use a sandbox to contain the virus within it. This one was real and knocked the a/v deader than a doornail. Got the alert and then it vanished! OOOooops!
