Is having more than one instance of explorer.exe a bad thing?

Just out of curiosity besides 11 process of explorer.exe you still have 53 process running. 53 is that without any programs running or with?
 
Quite a lot actually :) I have alsorts running, MSN, Bearshare, Bit Torrent, firewall, Antivirus, Blue tooth dongle Software... you name it!

I've never had a virus or spyware ever, really (Well since i learnt that you are suppose to have a firewall, but that was a year ago) and Ive formatted about 4 times since then :p
 
All is well now ;)

A restart did the trick :) I can't wait for Vista to come out.. Hopefully it wont be as buggy as XP :-/
