Welcome to Sevenforums bonbon!

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, however here is what I think you might be asking for.

Thanks Gator,

I have this one "6.1.7601.21669 (win7sp1_ldr.110225-1503)"

still I can not get the latest legitimate version.

Hello bonbonboi, and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'm not sure what's wrong with your current explorer.exe file, but you could run a sfc /scannow command to repair or replace it with a clean copy.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I do not want to replace it with the orginal one, because I have updated the windows lately. so the one one the DVD will be older than the current. the explorer.exe hit by a virus, so that is why I need to know the latest version os I can replace the infected one

 

[Brink]

Unless the component store has been infected as well, then SFC would replace it with a clean current one from the component store in Windows and not from the DVD.

In addition, is your system showing to be clean now by an AV program?

 

[bonbonboi]

I have searched c:\Windows for all files named "explorer.exe" i found that "6.1.7601.21669 (win7sp1_ldr.110225-1503)" is highest version among of them and it's clean.

 

[Brink]

The component store would have a copy of the same file version number as what you currently have in "C:\Windows\System32".

It wouldn't hurt to give SFC a try, but in the end it's up to you.

There is no update for explorer, the version that comes with windows is the one you use, just fix the one you have, never heard of explorer getting infected, please elaborate.

Internet explorer maybe?

explorer.exe brings up windows explorer Andrew, not Internet Explorer

 

[bonbonboi]

Well, I am using F-Secure AV, suddenly a popup appeared that it found a virus, when I click on Details, it's explorer.exe infected with Trojan.Generic.11285244 then it cant delete it, so I deleted it by myself :huh:

Their is a Explorer.exe Torjan running about the world.

explorer.exe trojan - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Logs

I do believe it should be verified that the system is clean.

I don't think I'm allowed to state any more about infections.

explorer.exe brings up windows explorer Andrew, not Internet Explorer

I know that

I just thought the OP was using the wrong terminology. I have had people that say explorer.exe when they mean internet explorer. So I wanted to know what they meant.

I am not that dumb if i was referring to Internet Explorer then it will be "iexplore.exe"

Sorry, was not trying to imply that you were. And that could easily be a typo.

Like I said, just making sure.

Anyway, regarding your issue:

Under C:\Windows\explorer.exe you could boot into a live linux cd and delete explorer.exe and then copy a fresh version from a windows 7 sp1 disk. Or, grab it from here if you do not have a disk:

So still nobody was able to confirm what the current version of explorer.exe since if you search for explorer.exe under C:\Windows you will get several explorer.exe with different versions.

 

[andrew129260]

This is mine, and I have all updates.

okay, go search for explorer.exe under C:\Windows you will get several explorer.exe with different versions.

[andrew129260]

Nope only 1 found under C:\windows

Unless you include explorer.exe.mui
