Most of the time when i start my computer explorer will quit. I have to use ctr-alt-dlt to run any program. If i run explorer it starts then quits wihtin 5 seconds... then starts and stops for a random amout of time (usually 45 seconds) then quits for good untill i run it again where the process starts over again.

Sometimes i get this message

(Header) Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

program: C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE

A buffer overrun has bee detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.

If i ignore this message explorer will stay up but once i click ok explorer quits and then i'm right back to where i would be if the message didnt show up.

I've run a bunch of scans (ad-ware, AVG, Spybot) and nothing. AVG did actually find a problem, fix it but then 2 days later it returned.



Thanks so much for helpin.
