    ...I even did a scf /scannow,...
    If that scan came back clean - then explorer.exe is not corrupted.

    Boot to the safe mode...
    ...copy your files off while you can
    ...uninstall Sophos
    ...try regular boot

    If that fails...
    ...boot to the safe mode
    ...try a clean boot:
    Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
    I can't fully recall but the final message was a long the line of "no integrity violation" or something, but like I said, during the scan there was a pop up saying something like Windows Explorer is not responding and is closing down or something similar. So that might mean something?

    I'm running Superantispyware at the moment in Safe Mode, so I might try what you suggest if this doesn't sort it :) Thank you!

    Just wondering again if you have your data backed up as Windows taking over although I ma not expert doesn't sound right to me and maybe a clean install might be in order. A bit drastic but at least it will not have the bloat. But only if you havw you work saved.



    REINSTALL

    For installingI prefer a disk to be honest but if you want to try again this is the one tofollow
    CleanReinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 make sureit is the right version ie Home Premium or Ultimate whatever you have a codefor and then the language and do not use the ones with a large "N" or"old" beside them.
    You can use a disk or USB stick with this.

    OH MY GOD I actually missed out TDSS KILLER!!!
    After trying all sort of scannings, drinking and sobbing, I checked your answer again and saw TDSS Killer which managed to catch 1 last single malware (which I was too stupid and hopeless to actually looked at and remember the name of), it cured the problem after rebooting. The laptop is now running fine like you wouldn't believe. I'm still baffled but way too overjoyed now to care. Thank you for your help!!!!
