my desktop, i get the 'explorer has caused an error in
(unknown). explorer will now close. but when i run in safe

ive did a scandisk and a defrag as well, but still no
luck. i also used my virus scanner and found 2 viruses
that it disenfected. please any advice will greatly be

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

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

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

ok ive done that and used those programs you have listed.
now everytime i click on 'my computer' or my files or
anything, i get a blue screen saying "error 06 CASD
00005E66". the weird thing is, i can still access all of
this stuff in safe mode. and i can still access the
internet as well in normal mode. but even when i do a
search for files, the computer locks up and i have to
restart. whats the deal with that?

Try this

Start|Run
type
SCANREG /FIX
and click OK - Windows will reboot, fixing the registry.

See if that helps.
