Hi, i got a problem and i was hoping you guys could help. Everytime i start up my computer, i get this message that says explorer has caused an error in ~7082808388.TMP. if i ignore that, i can run my computer just fine. I've tried everything, from ad-aware, panda scan, CWshredder and still this is here... please help me.

umm... i don't quite know if this will work or not, but since it ends with .tmp i think it's a temporary file and you need to go into your temporary internet files and clear it out of there. I don't know if this will quite cause harm or not so make a copy of it to put it back there. it's worth a try?

skinnyazno: You could try, <START> <SETTINGS> <CONTROL PANEL> Double click <ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS> Find and Highlight EXPLORER Click ADD/REMOVE and a box should come up with choices. Select the one to Repair EXPLORER. Good Luck Ralph(jazzbo)

skinnyasz6 I may have read your message wrong as I see now you were probably referring to Windows Explorer and not Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you ever need to repair IE you will find it in the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS listed as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Sorry about the error I made in reading the message. I don't feel that I can help otherwise. Ralph(jazzbo)

You have a virus called TROJ_SMALL.XC... Go to GOOGLE and search for windows system msmc.exe it will direct you to TREND follow the directions and delete this from your registry then do a scan of your harddrive to remove completely. hope this works Good Luck
