Hi, My NOD32 is giving me error that Win32/TinyE trojan is there in explorer.exe file. See the exact error -

File C:\WINDOWS\system32\explorer.exe is infected with trojan Win32/Tiny.E. The file can be deleted. It is strongly recommended that you back up any crucial data before you proceed.

----------
Now it is giving me 3 options, Delete it, Rename it or leave it like as it is. I obviously can't delete explorer.exe neither rename it(that would be disastrous I guess)

I obviously want to get rid of it and while searching on google, I came to know that the trojan is capable of opening any file/program.

Can someone help me on this.

Explorer.exe should be in the c:\windows folder - if it's anywhere else it's masquerading & can be deleted.

Hi, the actual problem is way too serious, My whole PC (all partitions) have got infected now and I don't think I can delete everything.

I can not install XP again because the worm will again infect it. Any solution ?
