Why do I get a Microsoft Visual Error every 5 seconds?

I found a few other answers regarding a Microsoft Visual c++ error. Program: explorer.exe A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internat state. It says the program has to shut down. I hit okay, my taskbar disappears and along with all the icons on my desktop. As soon as they reappear I get the same error again. I ran my antivirus and it came up clean. I ran Adaware, and it crashed a bunch of times.





What should I do?
