Re: Malicious Software Download

You're the one who referenced the Malicious Software Removal Tool (at least I thought that's what you were referring to). By chance did you mean the January 2007 updates offered/installed by Automatic Updates (which included the MSRT)?

Can you state your Windows version, please, and the exact error message you're getting?

Ok, so I checked that log and there was no error messages at all. What do
you suggest for my next move? The error seems to be within my windows
explorer.

I just recently downloaded the January 2007 Malicious Software Update and
ever since then I keep getting a message stating that Windows Explorer has a
problem but there is no path to where the issue is nor is there any
information stating the program that is the problem. I am not sure if
there is an answer but if someone could help that would be great.
