Look at this

This keeps happening randomly. I scanned my PC with NOD32, finds nothing. Does anyone have any ideas as how to fix this? Or else, I'm reformatting.

I probably would format and re-install myself. Better to be 100% sure the problem virus is gone...

Yep. I would format the hard drive. No point in taking chances.

1. Try updating windows

2. It could be due to a thrid party shell extension

3. In case you want to ignore this error , you can either disable DEP or add an exception

Just disable DEP. No need to reformat.
