Not sure if this is caused by spyware...

[tomindover]

But basically explorer refuses to work. Whenever I open my computer CPU usage by explorer.exe immediately hits 100% and after several minutes when nothing comes up ctrl alt delete says its not respnding and the only thing I can do is to end the task. Ending explorer.exe causes the computer to freeze and then close.
All virus/adaware scans come up negative however. This has been a recurrent problem and as far as I know nothing has caused it.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Tom
