    Windows explorer, (NOT internet explorer) crashes every time I close the last open window (on the desktop). I usually run XP up to date (SP3) with antivirus (Windows defender AND AVG), firewall (Online armor WITH program access control), spybot (withtout teatime), ad-aware, spywareblaster.
    I followed the instructions in the lengthy procedure faithfully, and gratefully removed a couple of trojans lying somewhere in my system.
    I end up with a couple of files less and a couple of programs (bitdefender,asquare,superantispyware, malwarebytes, combofix, mgtools) more, but still the system crashes when I close an open window in the desktop unless there's another window open.
    I have even rerun a few of the cleaners, nothing else found.
    I have tried everything....
    Attached below are the three text files. MGtools zip file follows.
    Thanks in advance
    Marti

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Your logs are all clean. If does not appear that you are having malware problems. You should take a look at your Event Viewer logs and check to see what info it gives you on the crashes. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427

    You should post this info in a new thread in the Software Forum.


    I would ask however if you know what the below hidden, system file is for as it seems suspicious:
    Code:
     
2008-06-01 01:33 80 --sh--r C:\WINDOWS\system32\6A2696D631.dll
    Do you need the below items that CombFix deleted
    Code:
    C:\downloads\planet-source-code\not_YET_working\nbCalculettte\build\classes\calculator\Desktop_.ini
