Delete the explorer.exe files in C:\RECYCLER, c:\Windows\Backup and C:\.

Open the Regedit and delete explorer.exe in hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run (or) hkey_current_user/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run.

You also need to uninstall the programs if the shortcut to that programs appear as archive icon.

But even after doing this it will give you error on rebooting the pc.
It will show the error message as
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
SO you may need to repair the corrupt dll file
The hal.dll file is a hidden file that is used by Windows XP to communicate with your computer’s hardware.
To repair the dll file:
Follow these easy steps to restore the damaged/corrupted or missing hal.dll file from the Windows XP CD using the Recover Console
How:
Here’s How:

1.      Enter Windows XP Recovery Console.
2.      When you reach the command prompt (detailed in Step 6 in the link above), type the following and then press Enter:

expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll

Using the expand command as shown above, d represents the drive letter assigned to the optical drive that your Windows XP CD is currently in. While this is most often d, your system could assign a different letter. Also, c:\windows represents the drive and folder that Windows XP is currently installed on. Again, this is most often the case but your system could be different.
3.      If you’re prompted to overwrite the file, press Y.
4.      Take out the Windows XP CD, type exit and then press Enter to restart your PC.

  1. I had same virus damage on system files and following appeared.

    Couldn’t expand hal.dl_ from original Win XP setup cd, so I expanded it to usb HD and copyed instead.
    After reboot following error message apeared:
    load needed DLLs for kernel.
    Please contact your support person to report this problem.
    Then I used ERD commander and it worked out the problem. Once system files were restored I run old good nod32 to clean viruses. It was as explorer.exe.

    🙂
