I upgraded windows ME to windows XP professional. Everything runs fine, monitor, keyboard, mouse, drivers etc.
The problem I'm having is after logging into windows, and the desktop should come up I get an error say that WINDOWS EXPLORER.EXE needs to shutdown. My desktop only has a black screen. I try to manually open exporer.exe through task manager and I get the same error. I have tried system restore, it restored but didn't fix the problem. Here is my HI JACK THIS log:

I know that I may have some spyware..because I get POP UPS galore. I have run Microsoft Antispyware program, Adaware 6, spybot, cwshredder, PC Bug Doctor, Mcaffe virus scan, Bazooka, Spywareblaster, Super Ad Blocker and Xoft Spy, but still spyware is present. I don't think that the explorer.exe problem is spyware related, but I don't know much that's why I'm here. Can anyone help? And just for the record I am only moderately computer literate. THANKS BUNCHIES
