As you can see on listed picture above there are 2 types of possible “load” file you’ll find on your computer screen, one with virus corrupted and second one is normal which don’t have any data value on it.  On my computer my “load” string file having a value data path to “xfvcww.exe” because of virus corruption and that means my windows is having problem with explorer.

To identify you’ll need to go to this path and search for a registry named “shell”. Path “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

If you find a registry named “shell” with some virus file path attached to it than its 100% possible this is a main root of your problem. In that case you can delete or edit the shell registry to blank and then restart your computer to make it normal as it was before.
