Good Afternoon,

I keep getting the message "Windows Explorer Needs to Close" then a Dr. Watson and then the computer locks up.
I have done deep AV scans with Avast and Norton. I have also done scans with CCleaner, Advanced Care for Windows and Super Anti spyware programs. I found nothing with any of these. I posted the logs from the error message and Dr. Watson on the MS error message page with nothing found. I ran Hijack and did an auto anlayze with nothing significant found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

John
