Rare error message

[markus webster]

Every time I turn on my pc I get the following error
message: Explorer has caused an error in ~7391739173.TMP.
No-one has any idea what this means. Can anyone help? I
have no virus but my pc is now sluggish and the ctrl-alt-
delete window does not appear while the error message is
active. If I delete the error message my desktop gets
wiped out and explorer ceases to run. I have tried to
repair explorer but to no avail.

Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks.

This is caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
