Explorer.exe Error?

This windows error msg pop-up when i turn on my PC this morning. Error msg:





Microsoft Visual C++ Library





Buffer overrun detacted





Program C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe





A buffer overrun has been detacted which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.





1) Is this a virus?


2) How do i clean it or stop it from popping up every time i turn on my PC? (If i press OK, it will blink out about 10 sec and the same error msg will pop up, which is so annoying to me)





Please help. Thanx in advanced.

Explorer.exe Error?
WOW no answers in 4 days, OK let me help you out.


First education:


This is done by 1 file found somewhere on your computer (anywhere).


this file is writing code that exceeds the buffer limits of explorer causing it to override active code(evil)


Solution:


First find this file avg pro offers a 30 day trial that usually finds this file http://www.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-pro... . For me this file was located in the system32 and named by a random character string followed by .dll.


If you do not find the file through this you can use security taskmanager free trial www.neuber.com/taskmanager/ .


That will show what processes are a threat. Then when you have located the file start your computer in safemode with command prompt. Use this to locate and destroy the file. The file will still be active in your recycle bin.
