The fact that there's a copy of this Explorer.exe in
System32 may be an issue.

Was there an application running?  Was there a
Registry entry related to this file?  If so, which
one?  How about another autostart location?

What do you mean by "I believe take precedence over
the real explorer.exe"?  how so?

There may be enough information associated with this
file such that you may not need to submit it to
anyone...there are things you can do to figure out
what the file is...
