Hello, I'm here for help on how to get rid of a pop up virus that occurs when I try to open a folder. Example I'm opening folders and randomly a internet explorer pops up even though my default browser in Mozilla Firefox.

Thanks I have it now but now when I close 2 or more folders at the same time it says "Windows explorer has stopped working" and 4 CMDs pop up and they are named deleting spybot. Spybot says imiportant registry files are being changed and I deny the changes.
I did scan my comp and internet explorer was infected by searches

Uninstall spybot search and destroy and reinstall it.
During the installation sequence, disble tea timer and other options you don't want.
Tea Timer monitor registry changes and lets you configure whether you want to allow a registry change or now. It's much like Vista's annoying UAC.
After you've installed Spybot S&D, in the menu bar enable advanced settings.
In the advanced settings: If you got a single core enable time critical (block everything else). This prevents other things from running like your viruses. If this is enable you will not be able to do anything else until the scanning is finish.
For dual and quads enable:
enable time critical and check the boxes: Use one cpu for scanning and one cpu for application.

You have vundo. I personally had this, spybot did nothing. Search super antispyware on google, download the free version, then scan. It will ask for a reboot, but it's worth it.
