Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}

Hello,

Avast find:

Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}

C:\Windows\system32\explorer.exe

What I can make?

I Have AMD Duron 800/20GB/258 RAM/WinXP Pro/SP1

Whilst explorer.exe is a valid filename, the location is wrong, the proper location for it is C:\windows (my xp pro SP2 files location) and not windows\system32, so it is likely that the one picked up by avast is a trojan.

What did you do when it was detected?

I suspect that you were unable to do anything, because it was running and or in a windows protected folder.

Disable system restore, reboot and schedule a boot-time scan from the avast menu.
