put finger to keyboard and composed:

When I press ctl+alt+del, the task manager shows TWO copies of 'explorer'
in
the list.

Many times when I (finally) succeed in closing the extra copy, it comes
right back (list shows two copies 'running'/)

What causes this and how do I permanently cure this?

go to Start - Run
type msinfo32.exe - OK
select Software Environment - Running Tasks

What do you see?

***
There is no 'running tasks' choice shown.

When I ctl+alt+del I see 32 'things' running (in Norton Crashguard) - do not
recognize most of the names as there is nothing in the name to indicate (to
me) which program it refers to.

(None of the names look like explorer (iexplore shows when I open windows -
sometimes.))

Note that some malware can cleverly disguise the name, eg the "ell"
could be replaced by a "one".
