This is a new problem that started today and I've never encountered it before. Whenever I try to view folders/drives (through My Computer or Run), I receive the error message "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.", with nothing but a "close" option. This seemed to happen around the time I accidently received a lot of spyware (from cracks.am, yes, I know I shouldn't have risked it). So, I ran ad-aware and got rid of all my spyware. It seemed ok, until I tried to access folders like normally and the aforementioned happened. I read a solution on the other site, that involved going into regedit and renaming the * registry to something else, but it didn't work. After checking event viewer it seems as if this problem could have something to do with msvcrt.dll, however I'm not sure if I should try replacing this file or whatever. Any help would be appreciated because there is a lot of things I am limited to now. This is the log I received after running HJT:
