Virus?

I have found that a file c:\winnt\system32\explorer32.exe was starting at boot

It looks like a virus to me! Explorer32?

Anybody know of a virus which tells explorer32.exe to open at startup. What damage has it done already? And what damage can it do?

It has only been there for a couple of hours I know (I opened a suspect EXE and my virus checker didn't pick up on it)

Hey, I didn't use KaZaA!

I just updated my virus checker (silly me, should have realised I hadn't updated it in the last couple of weeks) and it found the virus in the file

I did find KaZaA installed on my system however and the file "Wolfenstein CD Checker - play multiplayer wolfenstein!.exe" or something found in "c:\program files\kazaa\my shared folder\"

I will be asking my brother about this...

Jim
