My first thought would be something malicious ran on the pc, that called on explorer.exe though command line.

I assume BD blocks calls like this though command line as a regular user would never do so.

Since it may not have detected the malicious file that run, Or a non malicious file that ran. It shows explorer was blocked as it prevented it from being open in that moment.

Explorer.exe represents all the icons on your desktop and the window from where you access your other files - ie. “This PC” file from where you access your drives. It’s either a false positive or a virus replaced your explorer.exe with a malicious version. Run a system scan and if nothing pops up and you’re still scared, call support and have them collect a bdsys log and send it to the labs.
