Infection? explorer.EXE trying to access net

There is nothing wrong with Windows Explorer trying to access the network. You can even user it to browse the internet just like IE. If you block Explorer.exe from having network access you will sooner or later run into problems. Example: If you do file sharing between PCs on a network you will have an issue when you want to copy files between the PCs.

You don't have any infections showing in your logs. You just have questionable copy protection software for games that you appear to be playing.

 

That thread was your thread and the infection shown in your HijackThis log in that original thread is no longer present in the logs you attached here. How many sites have you been working on because it appears that you did not complete the removal process at malwareremoval.com? Where/when did you remove it?

 

Not according to your logs. It was not in any of the logs. The only other possibility would be Spybot but I doubt it would remove it and it was run after the first two tools which are more likely to detect it.

That is a typcial blurb used when certain kinds of malware infections are observed. There are no real guarantees that a PC is 100% clean after malware cleaning procedures. If you use a PC for important work containing sensitive data, financial info....etc, the only true safe thing to do is erase everything with no backups and start over again. However in many cases this is not really required. You have to judge the sensitivity of the information on your PC and determine your own paranoia level and decide for yourself. Also, if a PC is contains sensitive information or is use for financial type transactions, it really would be in your best interest to use another PC to change ALL passwords and account information to be safe. Also you should check with banks, credit card companies.....etc for any illegal activity.

Again these are all warnings to ensure safety. It does not mean that any sensitive info or passwords have been stolen. We just don't know that they have not been stolen and information just has not been used yet. This is the reason why things like the below have been written:
