Explorer.exe eats up memory

After one update, (can't remember when, but about4 days ago), Explorer.exe
eat's up all system memory and stop the system from runing any program.
When I try to shut it down, it comes up with shitload of DLL error files
windows.

It's probably MSRT (Malicious Software Removal Tool). MS has been aware of
this problem (encountered by some but certainly not all users) and has
re-written the Nov-05 release of the Tool.

Try downloading/running the re-written Tool manually from
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

I'd furthermore advise you to disable your Norton or McAfee anti-virus
application before running it.

This did not solve the problem. Still major memoryleak in Explorer.exe in
taskmanager. Start with 11.244 kb and after a 20 minutes it has rise up to
more than 50.000 kb depence what I am doing on the computer.

It cause it to frees all runing programs and cause some dll errors poping up.

The "malicious software" the tool's attempting to remove may be interfering,
causing the problem, Keli. Try running the tool after rebooting into Safe
Mode
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...1052409420406).
