explorer.exe then closes, meaning my whole desktop goes off.. i get a box saying 'windows explorer has encounted a problem and needs to close'.. it then comes back and then I can turn off my PC successfully.
After seeing this I did a Virus scan and Spyware scan as well as run CCleaner.. it found no threats at all but nothing changed. I then did a System Restore to the 13th August.. it cured the problem for a while but it soon came back when Windows installed 9 updates to my Computer.
If I keep repeating the process, it seems that the problem keeps coming back when I install the windows updates
