At least once a day or more my explorer.exe crashes with the error "Data Execution Prevention - To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program. Windows Explorer [Close Message]"
explorer appears to continue running until you press the close message button, at which time explorer stops running (you can see the taskbar and desktop disappear) and then it automatically restarts itself (explorer.exe I mean, not the whole PC) and the taskbar and desktop come back.
Event Viewer says: "Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.5512, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x038e33ec."
