hey!

My laptop has windows vista and evey time is start it up it say:

windows explorer has stopped working

Then goes onto:

Windows explorer is restarting



I read the other post about this topic, but every time is try and press F8 repeatly nothing seems to happen, i have disable google add ons.

My norton internet sercurity doesnt pick up anything.

I can get onto the internet, and use it, just have to put up with the "windows explorer has stopped working" box.


I cant get onto My documents or My computer or anything.



when i go onto the internet a page pops up saying that i have a spybot@mxttrojan virus, and gives me things to downlaod, so i click run, but nothing happens, and my internet sercurity is stopping free scans from happening.

I donr know what else to try. I have tryed downloading anti virus/malware but i cant get to it on my laptop.




Any other suggestions would be a great help..


thanks
