Yeeeoooow! Windows Explorer opens upon boot and opens a back door to download viruses WITHOUT IE running. Virus software catches the trojans but can't close windows explorer and still run IE. Different new files downloaded to Windows/System. One was sysgo.exe. Anyone know how to ID this and/or fix it? Thanks Very Much!
