    Alright,here's the problem,whenever I open a folder or lets say,my Garbage bin,after i exit the alleged folder,my Toolbar along with my icons for my programs on my desktop disppear for a few seconds,and then reapear.
    Anyone know whats going on?
     
    It sounds like adware and spyware.
    Adware and Spyware are malicious software
    that shows you ads or spys on your activity.
    To remove adware and spyware,
    you can run a scanner.
    I recommend these scanners:
    Spybot: Search & Destroy (you can get it free from https://www.spybot.info)
    Ad-aware SE Personal Edition (get it free from https://download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button)
    Norton Internet Security 2005 (I think it's $80, get it from https://www.symantec.com)
    and that's it.
    Make sure if you get a scanner, to update it daily.
    I'm sure you can figure out how to use the automatic updating :P
     
    What's happening is that something is making Explorer crash everything you exit a folder. I recommend scanning your system for any kind of viruses like with AVG Free Edition . Also, could you tell us your system specs along with the OS you're using if that doesn't work.
     
    I use firefox,actually,and I use all of those scanners listed above,for some reason(I didn't do anything) it doesn't happen,but if i restart,It might happen. AVG is working,and suprisingly enough,I have a friggin' Virus....crap...

    It doesn't matter if you use Firefox. Explorer is the taskbar, folder viewer, and all those icon stuff. When Explorer, not Internet Explorer, crashes, the taskbar, icons, etc disappear for a while until it restarts.
     
    Now,with AVG,it doesn't actually tell me HOW to get rid of these viruses,it just puts them in the vault.
