[random number] explorer.exe in startup. is it a virus/spyware?Configuration:
Should it be removed from startup?

Answer:
Definitely remove, its either a virus, spyware, adware or "hogs resources"
Added by the KEYLOG-AN TROJAN! Note - the legitimate Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) is located in the Windows or Winnt folder and would only be in startups if you added it manually. This one copies it's self under 9 additional file names in the System or System32 subfolders
Operating System : Windows XP
