    Explorer.exe disapears from process list

    I just ran into that problem with the Spyaxe malwhere. I got it all fixed up but now I notice IE isn't displaying some sites without the www. prefix, and even some Javascript. Also, right after logon, the explorer.exe process disapears from the Task Manager. Any ideas?

    This is what HiJackThis is saying, I'm not sure about that tcpR32.dll...

    l can tell ya the prob here - believe it or not.

    It's the lexmark printer services. They are goofed up and a ***** ts sort.
    That's fer sure sure.

    Also the email package and apache server look as though something is wrong.

    No one does Hijack this log analysis here..


    ??? http://www.freewarefiles.com/program_5_58_1251.html ???

    The Lexmark thing is running because I made the mistake of buying a Lexmark printer. And I run an Apache file server, as well as NO-IP because I don't like remembering my IP address.

    HI. . U should be able to disable the Lexmark server jobbie in Administrative Tools > Services. If M$ Office is installed the fast find feature is probably enabled to no particular good end.

    l'm pretty sure its just a whacked install of the lexmark services, if ya don't need them maybe uninstall.

    Lexmark blows. Sometimes they get lucky and make a decent printer, but their "PRINTING STARTED!" service is like fingernails on a blackboard. Kill eet!

    If explorer.exe disappears, so would all icons and the taskbar. Does that happen?

    Nope, Windows is still 100% functional, some things just kind of seem werid. For example, I had to use Firefox to simply sell an item on eBay, because IE couldnt display the pages properly, that has never happened before. Explorer.exe isnt even listed within process viewers that I downloaded, it's totally gone.

    Ok, this is odd. As soon as I logged in I opened the task manager and took a screenshot. That's when I found the problem, both the underlined application and explorer.exe disapear after boot. I searched for the file and found only a prefetch file, nothing on Google either. In terms of eliminating this, what kind of anti-virus software should I try, I'm currently using AVG.
