Vista Explorer error

[Viral]

I keep getting a lot of windows explorer errors meaning that explorer has to restart itself. I have checked for spyware and viruses and none were detected. The really odd thing is that when I click on start/windows icon I have absolutely no programs listed there and have to click on All Programs to see anything??

To fix this issue I have to start task manager end the explorer.exe process and then start it again. explorer.exe is using 50% cpu all of the time, does anybody know how to fix this issue, its driving me mad.

Please somebody, I have searched high and low and cannot find a fix myself.

My problem is with Windows Explorer, not internet Explorer.

I know how to restart explorer.exe in task manager but to be honest its just a little bit annoying. I really think that it should just work.
