Cant access any folder on my PC

[jigger37]

I,m not entirely sure how this happened (mut be some sort of virus)but i cant access any folder on my pc, even when i double click My Computer nothing happens, ive run Adawre,Spybot and Macafee VS(updated) to delete certain files, and i still cant open any folder after so may restarts. I can get into the start menu and launch programs etc even those on my desktop, but no folders therefore i cant get into my control panel as well.

When i restart and launch Task Manager i noticed cpu usage is not OTT, but when i double click a folder(and of course nothing happens) CPU usage shoots up to 100%. I have a 512RAM with adequate virtual mem assigned etc.

PLEASE Help!!!

This might work:

Press <ctrl, alt, del>
Go to 'Processes'
click on 'explorer.exe' and end the process
go to 'File' -> 'New task'
restart 'explorer'
reboot

No guarantee, but this works if explorer crashed earlier.

Unfortunately it doesnt work, i still cant open any folder i think that and the cpu usage surge are linked someway. Any more suggestions??

Try looking under 'Folder Options'

Try getting another anti-virus or contacting macfee

Go into Folder Options and hit the View Tag at the top. Hit the Restore Defaults option and see if that makes a difference.

Might not work htough cos My Computer is't really a folder but it may work.

i'm a bit late.. but i think it was a virus... from run type msconfig and go to the startup tab see if there is a thing called folder.tt something.. that could be the virus...
