To put it in a nutshell my power went out during a storm and when it came back on my comp was acting very strange. Windows Explorer is continuously 'encountering a problem and needs to close'. I push the 'don't send' button, explorer shuts down, comes back up within a few moments, and behold, 20 seconds later it encounters a problem and repeats. I thought maybe I had a virus for a time, but I don't believe thats it as I've run like half a dozen checkers and nothing shows.

This is its 'error signature' if it helps:

AppName: explorer.exe    AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106    ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0    Offset: 00000000

Any help would be great.

if you are running Windows XP, use your system restore and use a restore point that was saved before your power outage.

If system restore did not work you can do something else.
You will need the Windows XP CD.
Start – Run – type “sfc /scannow”
Let it finish and reboot.
