I was browsing a website when my browser crashed and my computer automatically reset itself. It even did a proper shutdown, closing all windows and taking the desktop to the shut down screen before resetting. When it restarted it loaded Vista as usual but right after the welcome screen it says 'Windows Explorer has stopped working' and I'm left with a black screen with my mouse cursor in the middle. Same problem if I try starting it from the task manager.
I ran malwarebytes antimalware from the task manager to clear 40+ cases of malware. After restarting it found around half as many, then after a third or fourth time scanning and rebooting it seems to always find just one called Hijack.FolderOptions (Registry Value) and says that it will be removed after reboot, but I get the same problem every time I reboot and when I scan again, the same thing is found. Also, if I leave the Avira antivirus process running it pops up with warnings about a variety of trojans and backdoors, but malwarebytes doesn't detect anything except the one registry thing, and Avira doesn't function properly when I try to run a scan.
I've also posted a Hijackthis log below.
