The Windows 7 Explorer freezes when moving files or when I right click a file in my computer, I think it's because of the size.

It is not malware, etc., or what you guys proposed previously.  I think that Windows is trying to display a preview of the file, and this should not be happening if it slows me down so much!

    Hello

    Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

    You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
    on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

    -------------------------------------------------

    If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
    program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
    much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
    of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

  • Explorer Windows has stopped working when I right click on the files

    When I need to click with the right button on folders, windows Explorer has stopped working.

    up to now, still can't use the right click menu ~.

    Yes, it's the details of the problem.

    Unfortunately, it does not identify the failing module.

    At this point, it may be useful to try to capture a dump of user of the explorer.exe crash mode.

    You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

    If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file, then right click on the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file explorer.exe plant should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
    "DumpFolder" = hex (2): 43, 00, 3A, 00, 5 c 00, 43, 00, 72, 00, 61, 00, 73, 00, 68, 00, 44, 00, 75,.
    00, 6 D, 00, 70, 00, 73, 00, 00, 00


    After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, you can, and then make the .dmp file available (provide the link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

    The following link has information about the use of Windows Live SkyDrive:

    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02dB-4665-993a-08d865088d65

    More information on the collection of user-mode dumps:

    ("msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library··· .a 85)

    You can also try to use ShellExView, as suggested by BurrWalnut, to try to eliminate a problematic third-party shell extension.

  • Windows Explorer in Windows 7 crashes only when I right click on a flash drive

    I have searched online, I could and that you did not find a thing to help. I have 2 flash drives that I use on a daily basis and they both appear in my Explorer windows as usual. I can use them as I normally and transfer files and save their very well. However, every time that I click one of them to do anything - eject, rename, etc,-l' windows Explorer stops and restarts.

    I checked the flash drive drivers and they are up to date and I formatted them does not. My 2 TB external hard drive allows me to right click and rename properly, so he is reduced to flash drives. I can right click them on other computers, is only on this computer.
    Anyone know what could be causing this? In addition, this everything works normally so it's quite strange.

    You are welcome.

    Given that the problem has been identified, you can try to uninstall then reinstall Bitdefender and see if the problem is fixed.

    If the problem persists, you may want to consider posting the question on Bitdefender forum:

    http://Forum.BitDefender.com/index.php?ShowForum=311

    In addition, you can remove the C:\CrashDumps folder at any time.

    You can leave the intact additional registry key, but you can delete it if you wish, or run the following .reg file to delete:

  • Cursor freezes when I right click on a file

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (with all latest updates)

    32-bit operating system

    IE9

    Whenever I right click a file (all), the cursor freezes with the waiting round circle: then I have to go to Task Manager and complete the task under applications to continue to work. To bring things back to normal, I have to restart, but after a while the cursor starts to work again. It is terribly annoying, because I very often work with the menu drop-down list by clicking index right files and regularly use the paste, cut, rename, and delete functions. This problem has happened recently. I have checked my virus from the system and nothing presented. I also realized all the maintenance tasks. I used Nirsoft ShellExView to disable/enable types "contex menu" for all software except those that relate to Microsoft and still have the problem.

    Please advise, thank you very much.

  • Windows 7 Professional 64 bit explorer.exe hangs in my computer when I right click on my hard drive. Disks appear in the Solution Explorer or eject.

    I have a serious problem when one of my windows, my main Administrator profile profiles, is very strange. Other profiles created on the computer, the administrator or standard user, all do not have this problem. The problem is when I open my computer, on my main administrator account, my hard drive is not recognized. There is a disc in the drive and it will not eject, nor will it recognize one is in the computer. The drive will appear in my computer, but there is no information on the icon about what drive is in the computer. Secondly, when I right click on it, the computer freezes and crashes explorer.exe. Once I have restart explorer.exe everything goes back to normal, but the problem is still there. I have this problem on other users on my computer. A system restore did not work, nor has a registry restored to an earlier period. In addition, everything else on the computer works fine, and there is NO virus or Trojan horses. I ran several deep scans with two different software, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Malwarebytes. I've taken I have a corrupted user profile and try to transfer my files in a new profile through the instructions from microsoft on their Web site. When I finished this profile has been impossible to obtain the necessary permissions to use files and I got errors trying to open anything. This problem has a solution, and I refuse to do a restore on a computer that otherwise does not work correctly. I would not have to re - install the operating system, or transfer my profile on a new resolution to this problem. Can someone at Microsoft help solve this problem? Thank you
