Explorer dies............

[Pat Garard]

G'Day All,

In recent days, Windows Explorer dies, AFTER use, when closed.

"Windows Explorer has encountered a problem...." Error Reporting.

After 'reporting' Explorer closes (and recovers the desktop), but
leaves a blank IE Window "about:blank" ........????

Xp Pro with all updates.

You have spyware and possibly viruses on your system. What does a scan
with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not earlier than
2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also, remove spyware
with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware
from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs before
running them. These programs are free, so run them both since they
complement each other. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode. You may also need to run CWShredder and HijackThis
from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html . Please read the
instructions carefully. Also, make sure you've visited Windows Update
and applied all security patches. Do not install driver updates from
Windows Update. Make sure you are running a firewall.
