...Wait. You tried renaming explorer.exe? As in, the file, or the startup entry, or both? If it is the former, don't do that again.

Rule of Computers #1: If it isn't stopping you from using it, it isn't worth fixing. Something like this can sometimes be an indication of a deeper problem, but I doubt it in this case. Trying to fix it could just cause an entirely new, much more major problem, especially if you are not sure what you are doing.

ScanDisk is not a virus scanning program, although it can detect problems caused by a few, very old viruses. It is a program intended to check for problems with the way files are stored on the hard drive.
Also, what are you doing without an antivirus program? Blur mentioned AVG, which is a good, free program. There's no practical reason not to have an antivirus program.
