Explorer! error message

When starting Windows I receive an error in a small window that only says
"Explorer!". It seems to happen sometimes when opening My Computer. Any
suggestions would be appreciated. You guys are a great source of
info...thanks!

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.
