So, yes, spyware.

runs every night. No virus, and only one spyware which is from limewire.
I don't delete it or limewire will not work. That shouldn't be the
problem anyway. So no virus or spyware. the problem is still the same.
As soon as I x out of control panel explorer crashes and reloads itself.
