Can't access My Documents or any start menu shortcuts...

[-Psy-]

What the hell is going on? I can't access My Documents or anything else apart from programs and run from the start menu =/

I can access My Documents by choosing run but whenever I go to it from the start menu, explorer.exe just restarts and the desktop shows this message :S

 

[bbson john]

Do you have a piece of magnifying glass?

 

[-Psy-]

Stupid imageshack...

Anyway, I sorted that out.

But explorer still dies...

I can't run Windows Update because iexplorer can't load up...

 

[Barney Fife]

Seems like you're having system files corrupted or memory issue. Either way I couldn't read what the image said and I'm shooting in the dark with this. If you're having EI boot problem then you must be having Windows Explorer problem too.
Memtest rams and if rams are OK then must be your OS kicked the puckett.

Good Luck.

Hm, I'll try the memtest. Here is a hijackthis log.

And wtf is up with this trojan that keeps getting detected.

TR/PCK.Klone.G.20

It keeps trying to infect this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\winhld32.dll

It only detects it when I do a spyware check.

 

[Barney Fife]

There you have it. It's good idea to install Anti-Virus software before you get infected, but once you're infected, format is the only way to go, since these Viruses/Trojans have clever way of hiding from detections.

Good Luck.

 

[-Psy-]

Sorry? I have got av software. I have done for the past god-knows how long.

 

[bbson john]

How about... Firefox?

 

[-Psy-]

What about Firefox? I use Opera.

 

[bbson john]

Shut my mouth off :|

 

[-Psy-]

Meh. It was something completely unrelated that I installed months ago.

DivX :S
