I suspect a virus in my 'My Documents' folder because whenever I try to access it I get the message:
'The instruction at "0x73757020" referenced memory at "0x73757020". The memory could not be "read".'
and then
'Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
I send the error report but I don't think that really does anything helpful. I also ran Symantec AntiVirus and nothing came up.

Any ideas??
Thanks

When did this start happening? Why do you think it's a virus? Does the problem recur if you reboot the computer? If you're using the default My Documents location, can you access the folder from another user (Admin) account?

Life's more painless for the brainless.

It started today, I'm not sure if its a virus or a corrupted file or something like that. Rebooting doesn't help and I can't access it from other users. I am able to look at the folder contents using other programs (like 'browse for file' in AntiVirus) but if I try to execute anything I keep getting a memory read error.

I also ran Scan Disk on C:\ with no change to my accessibility to My Documents. Is there any way/program to delete newly created files from My Documents in case something was corrupted?

Thank you, this is really frustrating...
