Solved [In progress] Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error

[slowishsnail]

Every time I open my Download folder an error message appears:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime error!

Program: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe

This application
has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


This started a couple of days ago. When I click OK the folder closes.


I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

This is not usually a malware issue. The most common cause of this error is found in addons

Please open IE> Manage Addons> Disable all addons> put them back one at a time until you find the one causing the error. Uninstall it.
