I have this rare virus: First let me say that y scanned my computer with norton antivirus, F-prot and Panda antivirus all with the resent signature files, and no sign of virus.
When I start my computer it loads fine but the explorer.exe doesnt load it stays with the wallpaper and thats it. I press Ctl-Alt-Del then task manager then new task and run the explorer.exe and it loads fine.
Now when I am browsing in the internet (using IE 6) it appears a small folder icon at the bottom-rigth corner of the browser and stays there. It gives me the impresion that when this folder appears someone is hacking me.
Please help!! does anyone knows what is happening to my PC?

If you ran 3 different scans and they all came up clean, More than likely you are not infected with a virus.
Download and run Spybot:
