Windows Explorer Encounters problems, OCA says its Purstiu.A

[Guest]

Each time I open My computer and double click on an HDD or other folder it
opens but immediatly says that Windows Explorer as encountered a problem and
needs to close, I then send the error report and provides me with a link to
something that will prevent it from happening again. On the Online Crash
Analysis website it says the problem was caused by a virus called
TrojanDownloader:Win32/Purstiu.A and that I should run the Malicious Software
Removal Tool, but it says that my PC is completely clean. I also scaned my PC
with an up-to-date version of Trend Micro PC-cillin, and it also came out
clean. I then tried to find out about the virus but sevral searches on Google
gave me abselutely no results. I also tried Trend Micro, Sophos and Norton's
websites and gave me no result.

The problem occurs each time after I open any Explorer window and from there
go into another folder.

Please Help, these constant errors are driveing me nuts!!!

P.S I havent installed any new software for at least three days before the
problem started.

Use:

AD Aware SE 1.06
Spybot: Search and Destroy 1.4

with all updates adn in "safe mode".

Most anti-virus utilities still do not handle spywares correctly (Trojans
are on category of spywares).

Download, install, update and run all of the following.

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to the group so that
it can be analyzed.
