Explorer Has Encountered A Problem

No matter what I click (My computer; My Documents; Control Panel; Ect.), I get the, "Explorer has Encountered A Problem" error message. I ran Ccleaner still nothing, now running AVG Anti-virus, but it found nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,

If you strongly believe your system is infected with malware, please do the following.

Important: Please read this thread HERE before you decide whether to clean or reformat your system.

Should you decide to clean your computer, please go ahead to Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions and follow the steps given. Do follow all the instructions exactly. They will provide logs for analysis of your system so I will know how to instruct you to proceed.

Thereafter, please post fresh HijackThis, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread. Do not copy and paste your logs if not it will be ignored and/or removed.

Also, please let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan


Regards,
Your friendly momok =)
