[jajafofo]

a friend wanted me to get him an AV prog, and i also gave him spybot and adaware....he told me last night that after he ran AVG and spybot and rebooted his computer, he cant get into windows at all...his wallpaper comes up, but none of his icons will show up, and he keeps getting an error "explorer has caused an error in explorer.exe"...

any ideas?

If you haven't tried it yet, right click on the desktop and make sure "View as web page" is not checked.
