Go to Malwarebytes Forum and ask them. They are very helpful.

Both explore.exe and winlogon.exe can look to be legit MS files, but malware can diguise itself to look like legit files.

Take a look here w.dll | ThreatExpert statistics
w.dll is a hacktool, password stealer, infostealer.

Let MBam and Eset quarantine the infected files, and change all your passwords using a different (clean) computer. Don't use the infect one to do this with!

i had to restart my computer for malware bytes and eset to remove explorer.exe and winlogon.exe and now my computer doesn't login to the windows but restarts by itself. is there a way to clean those infected files without removing them since are needed by the computer?

do you have install any theme before that have change your explore.exe and winlogon.exe

if yes you need to restore your system, you cant delete explorer.exe and winlogon.exe because it needed by windows.

In case the actual files got infected and removed by the AVs, you can do the following.

Start your pc and tap F8/F12 to get to the advanced boot options screen..
Select Repair your Computer.
Enter your account name and password if prompted and select the keyboard layout.
It'll try and detect the problem bu itself, but nevermind, just click the link "More recovery options" or something like that.
Goto the command prompt.
Type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
Wait for its completion and restart.

You cannot do a System File checker in System Repair Options - I have tried in the past and it has not worked
