I've had this problem for as long as i can remember, on my netowrk i have 2 computers both running XP one's P4 and the other P3.
Now my P4 keeps picking up tavo and kavo.exe and then explorer.exe comes on and off.
My P3 doesn't have this problem with explorer.exe but i have tavo and kavo. exe.
Here is the log of my P3 from HIjacker:
