Windows. "Stopped working"

[p.risboy]

Has anyone had a problem with Windows Explorer.

I've had 3-4 tabs up, and then Windows stops working. Searches for a solution and closes. It then re-opens in Windows homepage.

Hi Steve

Does Windows freeze completely? If mine crashes then I shut down and reopen I get an icon saying "Your last Windows session closed unexpectedly. Do you want to Restore it?"

The amount of horrible spam emails I have been recieving and having to delete lately is rising as well.

My anti-virus runs constantly, and has done since I installed it. It scans everything as I use it. It also updates hourly. It also does a full system scan everyday.(It takes 90 minutes)
Windows defender scans every day. Windows updates automatically.

Pop ups are blocked, and are only allowed when neccessary.

Could be a Vista problem.

Never had any spam at all. I had the same thing with windows last year, stopped using firefox, and up until recently no probs.

No, it's not a worm. There was a conflict in my HP smart web printing program.
Just sorted it out. Hopefuly sorted now. No virus, worm, nor any other nasty.
Just a slight conflict in my program.
Just needed a small download from HP, that's Hewland Packard, not HP sauce.:biggrin: :biggrin:
