Broken down you have asset identification, risk analysis and mitigation. Emphasis is on risk analysis.

Configuring isql *plus
If you have access to Oracle MetaLink, then document 185707.1 “How to configure and start iSQL*plus” is very good. Briefly: 1. Enable iSQLplus 2. Get a suitable http server running. Oracle 9i (and later) comes with one built in. 3. Configure iSQL*plus security. The MetaLink note describes the details of this process very well.

End Program – explorer.exe-2
Don’t know what might have caused this to start happening, but you should make sure you have updated antivirus and spyware protection. If so, do scans in safe mode. Check your startup programs for anything non-standard. Use Startup Control Panel from www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml. Check [HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop] and change AutoEndTasks=1 to fix the symptom.
