    Hi Joe,

    Download, install, update and run the FREE version of Malwarebytes.

    Post the log file here once the scan is completed.

    Forget AVG, their reputation is not what it once was - uninstall it completely and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials, once this other bit of malware has been removed.

    Regards,
    Golden

    Joe,

    If you are having problems running Malwarebytes when you boot your PC normally, then reboot it in SAFE MODE (hit F8 continuously during reboot) and then run Malwarebytes.

    Post back here if you are having problems with that or you need more help.

    Regards,

    Symantec has a free removal tool for Blaster:

    W32.Blaster.Worm Removal Tool | Symantec

    This tool is designed to remove the infections of:

    W32.Blaster.Worm
    W32.Blaster.B.Worm
    W32.Blaster.C.Worm
    W32.Blaster.D.Worm
    W32.Blaster.E.Worm
    W32.Blaster.F.Worm
    Important:
    W32.Blaster.Worm exploits the DCOM RPC vulnerability. This is described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026, and a patch is available there. You must download and install the patch. In many cases, you will need to do this before continuing with the removal instructions. If you are not able to remove the infection or prevent re-infection using the following instructions, first download and install the patch.

    hi GOLDEN :) Thankyou Once Again !!!
    what I did --
    Ran my System in Safe mode with networking..it gave the results and i clicked on "remove all the infections"..it then asked for a reboot and i did it..
    ( Downloaded Malwarebytes from my frds laptop, saved to a flash drive and then put my system in safe mod and ran the malware frm the flash drive)

    Now the annoying pop windows dont appear !! i am now able to open all the files and folders !!! So happy !!!!

    The only problem now is when i m tryi to connect to the internet with my friends wifi connection Firefox(version 5.0) it says " The Proxy server is Refusing Connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections..
    Internet explorer also tells " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage..

    Some malware tampers with the Hosts File. Take a look at this tutorial to see more info on that.

    Hi,

    Please copy & paste this information into a batch file and save as flush.bat on your desktop:

    @Echo on
    pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    attrib -h -s -r hosts
    echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
    attrib +r +h +s hosts
    popd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset all
    netsh int ip reset all
    shutdown -r -t 1
    del %0


    Right-click on flush.bat and choose run as administrator. Try to connect to the internet after you have done this.

    You should keep Malwarebytes on your system, and update and scan with that regularly.

    Regards,
    Golden

    I agree with Golden on his post, those commands in a batch file should fix you up if it has been corrupted.
