Promblems with explorer.exe
 

For the last couple of days every time a download a video from the internet and put it in a folder, every time i try to go into that folder then i get an error message saying Windows Explorer has encoutered a problem and needs to close, any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks
Matthew

is this the only time you get the error?
do you get it entering any folder, or just folders with videos?
or is it any newly created folder?

It happens every time i try to open a folder that a flie has been saved in, just tried it with pictures and that makes the folder freeze to. It happens with any folder old or new

hmmm, are these files saved from a specific program? Or does this happen from your browser as well?
If is occuring with a specific downloading P2P program it is likely a virus from the specific application as is common among them.

tried with internet explorer, firefox, bitcomet and limewirre and all have the problem, ran a full virus scan and nothing appeared :/

*which virus scanner are you using, a common mistake users make is assuming that a virus scan coming back clean means you are not infected.

*Does this happen to a folder that has had files saved before this problem started?
