Help
Everytime i start a browser, it crashes the second it starts up. I've tried this on IE, firefox, and chrome. In safemode, the browsers last about 5 seconds before crashing. I've ran malwarebytes, spybot, combofix, tfc, and tdsskiller already. Beforehand to this, my browsers kept getting redirected, but i didn't do anything until the crashing started. I found some things in registry which spybot removed, but as of now i've ran a bunch of scans it seems to be clean. I know the internet is working, because im able to go onto window's mail, which i used to get the anti-virus onto the computer, and also i was able to browse around in the 5 seconds i had before crashing in safe mode. If it matters im running on windows 7.
Also, i've noticed explorer.exe is taking up more memory then before
