started crashing at every reboot. I uninstalled BitDefender and explorer is
still crashing. I scanned for trojans and viruses and it came up negative.

you should log into
safemode and initiate
a clean boot:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

while in safemode
you should also initiate
a chkdsk.

if the above doesnt
get you into normal
mode windows, then
the registry needs a
tune up.
