explorer.exe virus.


Recommended Posts

I have windows 7 and I keep getting the mal ware bytes window popping up in the corner telling me that it blocked a potential virus. Explorer.exe. A minute or two later my monitor flickers and a window opens up and says there is an issue with video card (which there is not). Then I get the blue screen of death and then the computer reboots. It does this over and over. I have tried everything to remove this virus, bit I can't get rid of it. HELP!
