Windows Explorer stops and starts constantly, don't have access to some webpages
 

I'm sorry that this has to be my first post here.

Did a couple of big mistakes with .exe files and I'm paying the price. Explorer turns off and on reseting itself and every time it does it, it also closes any folders that may be open. Also, from another source, I have problems browsing some webpages with Firefox.

Already solved it, only needed to do a scan with a good antispyware program. Spybot Search and Destroy did the deed.

OK,

No Problems.

Post back if you have any more future problems :)
