How do i rectify this. [Image Included]

[escape7]

The open and explore options do not show, instead there is some random gibberish.

I've got no idea how this happened, is it a virus or something? HOw do i correct it. Re-installing XP is not an option as i do not have the CD at the moment.

[dheeraj_kumar]

Try the usual stuff - Spybot, Ad-Aware, NOD32, HJT.

And this looks like some asian language - you dont have the converter so its displayed as gibberish. What file types is this problem present in? because if its only one or two, you can change it using folder options.

[Cool Joe]

as dheeraj mentioned try avast or avg, spybot and all with latest updates. also post hijack this log.

[escape7]

I've used avg and spbot, there were a few infections but the problem persists. And i feel its not an asian language as they do not open on clicking, an error occurs... I'm typing the name of the drive in the explorer to open it.

How do i get the hijack this log?

[zyberboy]

do a full system scan with kaspersky, then delete the hidden autorun.inf file in root of every drive to solve the problem.

You have to delete autorun.inf file in each drive. It might hidden. So, check for that.

[dheeraj_kumar]

Yeah, try that. Delete autorun.inf from each drive and restart.

I checked the drives, there are no autorun.inf files in them...

[dheeraj_kumar]

They are usually hidden.

[Sathish]

move all the files from root directory.except system files .

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ Malware can replicate. So no use.

I know that... can anyone help?

[Sathish]

Try BitDefender Free Edition.. It should remove all threats @ 100$%

but be careful.. it remove all files and registry entry without your intention. even the win system files and registry entres..

But i wil sure Bit Defender engine is the one to remove 100% threats..

Plz try it as final ........

[Yavin]

Use WinRAR to view the drive and it will show all hidden files as well. Delete autorun.inf files from the root of every local and removable drive and restart PC. Else you can also use program like Free Commander and it will show all hidden files. Gud luck!

Using different colors make you look like a noob. Not cool.

Bitdefender DOES NOT remove win system files and registry entries. If it does, it means THEY ARE AFFECTED. And if they are affected, you're better off cleaning them rather than working in an affected comp. And BitDefender notifies you and ASKS you what to do, rather than doing it all by itself.

Lol dude, you make it sound like a virus itself

Bitdefender is ranked the best overall antivirus software, and its because it is good, and I choose NOD32 over it only for personal preferences.

[chandal_keta]

yah! this is due to virus known as CHINESE virus!!
i think ur problem should be solved if u scan it and remove the virus with kaspersky!!
i have seen this problem with people in NEPAL..and if still doesnt..then format it...coz that would be the last option...but however i think if u properly work with it...should solve ur problem!!
good luck

[blueshift]

Registry problem i think. If am not wrong some malicious file has added these in Context menu handlers.

Open your Registry Editor and browse through theze keys. See if you can find something.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\Shellex\Con textMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

or download this free Context Menu Editor.

[escape7]

I ran an entire syste scan using AVG, then SysClean, Spybot and a few others and removed all threats, the problem,whatever it was has gone. I just didn't want to format my drive...

Thanks fr all ur help guys, problem solved.
