ExploreD?
 
i seem to have a minor problem. some tiny little program, called "explored" is in my processor list and it seems that it ios always eating at least half my processer. im running windows professional that a freind installed for me, he doesnt know what it is either, but i dont think he has it, i dunno. anyway i think its a service cause as soon as i close it it reopens, and its in system32. anybody know what it is?

update:

found the service under "Windows logon" which i found odd, because the "winlogon" service is running at the same time.

i will note that a "guest user" printed off about 23000 documents on one of my network printers.

use msconfig and disable it sounds like a trojan or at the least malware/spyware
