Whenever I try to open my Control Panel (in XP) it says explorer has encountered an error and it won't open. It looks like explorer then does a quick reboot. I looked at the error report, and it says:
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: shell32.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2900.2180 Offset: 00022aa0
Any ideas?

Jump to PostSounds like system corruption which has resulted from infection by a trojan or other 'nasty'. Try following the advice in the stickied topics in our 'Viruses and Nasties' section, and if that doesn't correct the situation try a refresh install of Windows.
Jump to PostI sooooooo seriously dislike Norton products - for soooooooo many reasons!
The stuff which can't be cleaned or deleted will be inaccessible because it is running in memory. Rebooting into 'Safe Mode' and using decent cleanup tools from there is the way to rid yourself of such pests.
