None of those are firewalls. The first 4 are anti-spyware and Firefox is a browser. Explorer.exe isnt internet explorer, its pretty much the windows interface. Installing firefox wont get rid of it. Go to your desktop, then press ctrl + alt+ delete and end the explorer.exe task. All your icons and the start menu will disappear, thats what explorer.exe is.

Right!
To CraigMB:
You'd better download ZoneAlarm Pro or Outpost Firewall Pro ,very good firewalls. The anti-virus :avast! (Home) is good ,and it is free.NOD32 is very good too.

Even the free version of ZoneAlarm rocks. Why pay more than zero?
