Windows Explorer Encounters problems, OCA says its Purstiu.A

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Each time I open My computer and double click on an HDD or other folder it
opens but immediatly says that Windows Explorer as encountered a problem and
needs to close, I then send the error report and provides me with a link to
something that will prevent it from happening again. On the Online Crash
Analysis website it says the problem was caused by a virus called
TrojanDownloader:Win32/Purstiu.A and that I should run the Malicious Software
Removal Tool, but it says that my PC is completely clean. I also scaned my PC
with an up-to-date version of Trend Micro PC-cillin, and it also came out
clean. I then tried to find out about the virus but sevral searches on Google
gave me abselutely no results. I also tried Trend Micro, Sophos and Norton's
websites and gave me no result.

The problem occurs each time after I open any Explorer window and from there
go into another folder.

Please Help, these constant errors are driveing me nuts!!!

P.S I havent installed any new software for at least three days before the
problem started.
