Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
"Buffer overrun detected!

Program :C:\Windows\Explorer.exe

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state.The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated"

But,when I disconnect my PC from network\LAN I can easily explore.

Scan your system with AdAware or HiJack This for malware. You also will want to investigate for viruses and worms.

Symantec and Eudora can generate this error message and the fix for those can be found here:

HI THERE,
RE: MS VISUAL C++ RUNTIME LIBRARY
Program:C:\WINDOWS\EXPORE.EXE
A Buffer overrun had been detected which
has corrupted the program's internal state.
The program can not safely continue execution
& must now be terminated.

I have tried a range of things from deleting programs such as tool bars, spyware, latest programs i'd downloaded & installed and back to reinstalling spybot and running it and avg professional. All of wich i have had NO joy in getting rid of this bloody annoying message, which is almost driving me to reformating my computer, which is the only thing i haven't done as yet.If i have to reformat it's a 2-3 day job to set back up again.
IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE with a solution, I have also contacted and spoken to a 2nd level tech at microsoft re this problem, I thought he had manage to fix it, when it reappeared 10 min' after i had hung up from him...& we all know what a drama it is to get a hold of a 2 level MS tech by phone!
I eagerly await a solution.
Thanks
Wingie
