What does the Windows error say? Have you tried restarting your computer to see if LW works then? How many files were you downloading at once when LW crashed?

windows explorer

windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.

if you were in the middle of something the information you were working on might be lost.

Please tell microsoft about this problem.
We have created an error report that you can send to help us improve explorer. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous.

Well it's possible that it is a virus

Have you been using LW for a while without a problem, or have you just installed it?

Do you scan downloaded files with your AV before opening? I'd follow Grandpa's advice & go to see Norbie. He'll help you to fix things up & it's all free. Follow Grandpa's link within the thread I posted, it has a link to Norbie's site.

It might've been a file you'd downloaded earlier, don't think it could've been the one you were downloading at the time.

Just go here
