I get this every time I turn the computer on:

Explorer has caused an error in:
~7583836339.TMP.
Explorer will now close.


And then when I click close, the Start menu and all desktop icons dissappear.


I think I also got some programs installed on my computer that keep installing spyware on my computer. I keep running the CWSShredder, AdAware, Spybot, and the other one, but the spyware keeps comming back.

Can someone please help.

Do you have one of those firewall dealies? I don't know that much about this stuff, but I do know you're supposed to have one. I have one stupid thing that I just can't get rid of, but this at least blocks it from accessing the Internet.

Mine is called ZoneAlarm. It's free and the techie guys at work recommended it. Check out cnet.com if you haven't already. Good luck, man. That stuff is a pain in the butt!

You need to dump your cache....

Open Internet Explorer go to tools -> Internet Options -> Delete files

I found the ~7583836889.tmp file in my TEMP folder under the C drive in the WINDOWS folder.

It wont let me delete it as it is being used by windows.
