I seem to be in quite the jiffy with this one virus I can't seem to get rid of.
It started off about a month ago when I noticed a program called "Malware Doctor" on my desktop. I did virus checks with NOD32, Spybot, and Malwarebyte. It found what I thought was the virus and deleted it.
About two weeks after, I boot up Windows only to see that explorer.exe crashed, with the prompt to close program or send a report to Microsoft. When I hit close on that, the same error pops up infinitely. A repair with the Windows cd fixed that for the time being. Now, again, it's doing the explorer crash loop. I scanned with all the previously mentioned programs, plus Kaspersky and Ad-Aware, but with no results.
I'd prefer not to format, but it is a last-resort option. I can also provide a HijackThis log if needed. Any ideas on what's going on?
Alot of people seem to be getting the explorer.exe crashes lately, including myself before i reformatted.
Enter SFC /scannow in cmd. It'll fix the corrupted files caused by Antimalware Doctor. My friend had the same problem.

Thanks for the advice, worked perfectly. Ad-Aware also found another two .exe files in temp folder with sketch file names.
