http://www.techsupportforum.com/1829551-post6.htmlhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic273628.htmlI found these threads (just a couple examples below) and many many others all over the internet of users complaining about the exact same symptoms... a virus causing a second instance explorer.exe to use high RAM...
Explorer.exe is a systems process that is used to start other parts (files) of a program. More than one explorer is sometime normally to see in TM. This mey not be malware related issue...
Explorer has a dual function, it can be started in two modes.
When you start Explorer, explorer.exe search whether is it one more explorer active. If not, then he himself starts in shell mode (this is what we know as the Desktop taskbar, clock, etc.).
If you see that it is already booted an explorer, he assumes that the Desktop is already running, and then he starts itself as a file manager.
