This error is very common. And it often occurs due to some issues with your computer performance. But in order to identify the problem, you need to know what are the things that you do before the error came up. Did you recently create any changes on your computer?

Another workaround that you can try when clean boot don't work is to run the System File Checker. This will help you fix the corrupt system files. Go to your Command Prompt and then type sfc /scannow and then press enter.

Next is to repair your hard drive. Run chkdsk on the Command Prompt and press enter. You may also want to know how you can optimize your hard drive, just click on the link below:

Dear Iris Coulter,

The error that you described in your posting shows that your computer is infected with a virus. The Explorer is a file which new files open onto. Your Explorer.exe file is infected with a virus. You can find this file in the C:WINDOWS folder. You should scan your computer now to fix this problem. You cannot repair the file without scanning it. Choose an antivirus software and scan your computer. Thanks.
