Help!!

I cannot connect with my hard drive. Whenever I try to
open the "my computer" Icon I get a "Explorer has caused
in error (unknown). Explorer will now close". I've tried
restarting my computer many times.

I have a C drive and a D drive and I cannot access either
of them. I can run applications. I can even surf the
internet, but I cannot open the "my computer" to access my
own files.

What should I do?

Thanks.

Explorer errors in <unknown> are almost always the result of unwanted
visitors....
You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.
