It seems to be that Windows Explorer is screwed. 
I had my laptop and I realised GTA: Vice City was screwing up a bit. It was a modded version (Killer Vip 1.3?) Anyway my computer was Not responding on the most simplest of tasks. Such as opening a folder. I then tried to make an Icon with IconArt and when I went to save, it stopped responding. Later on "Com Surrogate" stopped working. And "Windows Shell Common DLL" stopped as well. When I tried to take screenshots of them I put the shots into Paint and when I went to save Paint froze as well.
Anyways, Avast said that GTA-vc.exe was a virus (Win32 Worm I think). Since then I Have deleted GTA and I deleted all traces of GTA from the Registry because it still wasnt fixed. Since then I have done through virus scans with updated versions of Avast! and AVG 8.5. [I was told by people on Yahoo Answers that it could be Avast and AVG fighting]
I was going to wipe and reinstall but It would get rid of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2007. I have a copy of Professional but the activation key doesn't work (its been used). And it doesnt have OneNote. I also dont have a copy of Home and Student as it came with my computer.
I used to be able to reset to factory settings (which I've done whenever my computer stuffs up) but I think when I upgraded to windows 7 from Vista SP2 it got rid of the recovery partition.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium (build 7600, revision number 16385) on an Acer Aspire 5720Z with 1GB Ram, 1.6 ghz Intel Dual-Core T2310, 120GB Hard Drive.
It was working fine with Windows 7 since last Friday.
On an unrelated matter my touch pad (ALPS) screws up and barely moves.
UPDATE: I uninstalled AVG not sure if its fixed will post in a sec
