Explorer shuts down

[john ranger]

As soon as it pops up it shuts down. My Outlook those the same thing.I have to do a system restore to get it back but after a day or two it does the same thing.


Is there a fix for Eplorer? A reinstall or something like that?

Thanks

Sounds like a virus or spyware..

The reason I'm leaning towards virus is because you said when you do restore it fixxs for a time but recurrs. I would do the thing you found but after good virus and spy check..
