So I have virus on Windows Vista. For some reason everytime i go to open any folder up, my taskbar (explorer) just shuts down, but then re-appears. But i cant open any folders still. I can open all programs, just no folders. I tried restore points and doing last known good configuration, but nothing is working...

Anybody know how to fix this or what this is??? :confused::mad:
 
I don't think that it's a virus (although maybe I'm wrong).

Something like this used to happen to me every now and then in XP, but I can't remember what the fix was.
 
That does not sound like a virus to me either... I'm not saying that I'm correct, but I have had my fair share of viruses.

It sounds more like spyware, if anything at all. Sometimes Windows does strange things for no reason, you may want to try defragmenting your drive after you use something like SpyBot, or Adware SE. (I know im a bit late in this reply)

yes, and now its back. I think it is Spyware, I'm going to do what andy_mitch92 said and degfragment my drive.

Defragmenting your drive most likely won't help.
