Windows explorer i am having problem with my windows explorer, when ever i click on drive it opens cmd prompt in explorer. i tried anti virus and spyware but nothing was detected. plz let me know how can i solve the problem.

have a good security system installed in the computer
\ plug in the flash drive and the sign will come up scan for virus
click yes and let the security program do the job
If there is nothing important on the flash drive go to the computer right click on the flash drive icon, click on properties and then click on format
that will clean the flash drive and remove the virus

I have faced same problem. Shortcuts everywhere.

Not once, many times.

I tried many solutions.

Shortcut Virus Remover is the best solution I found.

A 100% free simple application.

You can download it from this link - Shortcut Virus Remover

Place it in your pen drive and double click to run.
Press Enter to confirm its process.
That is all.

Shortcuts will remove and your data will be back in a second.

There could be hard disk errors that need to be fixed, or there could be files in your OS that are missing. First you should login to an account that has administrator privileges and go to Start, select Run and in the Run window type CMD and then hit enter to bring up your command prompt. If you're using Vista or Windows 7, go to the Start Orb and type CMD into the search bar, then right+click CMD and pick "Run as Administrator." Now, in the command prompt, type SFC /SCANNOW and hit enter. If you're missing any files you will be prompted to insert your Windows disc, it is quite possible that you don't have one, but the main reason you're doing this is to see if you're missing OS files because if you are then that will immediately explain the blue screens and freezes because parts of your Operating System are gone. Anyway, it will prompt you for a specific disc, if you don't have it and you don't know anyone who has it then you can't complete the scan, so stop/cancel it and run it again when you get the CD. For now though, let's work with what we have. We want to see if your harddrive is damaged. In command prompt type CHKDSK /R this will scan your harddrive for errors and repair them on the next reboot (this scan will take at least 40min). After all of that, you should run a PC/Registry optimizer such as Glary Utilities http://www.glaryutilities.com/ (I prefer this one because it's free and simple to use. Tell it to scan after you install it and then tell it to repair the issues it finds.
Scanning with an anti-malware program, an anti-rootkit program, and an anti-spyware program certainly won't hurt anything. The 3 free programs I use are

http://www.malwarebytes.org/ -- Anti-Malware
http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/sophos-anti-rootkit.html -- Anti-Rootkit
http://www.superantispyware.com/ -- Anti-spyware
If you don't have any antivirus program installed, Avast! http://www.avast.com/lp-upgrade-4-5-free# Is a great one, but it does not work well at all with other anti-virus programs, so don't install it if you have another anti-virus program (such as Norton Antivirus, Panda Anti-virus) running.

Hope this helps!

For virus/trojan/spyware problems I would recommend you to go here:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/

Security Center> Virus/Trojan/Spyware Help> click the red "First Steps"

Follow there instructions. It will take sometime to fix, but they have Pro's who help for free.

"If you 100% know what you are doing here you go."

1. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and find
cmd.exe
Double click it. Does the window open? If not go to

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Windows XP

Scroll down to "Line 228" on the right hand side, you will find Restore CMD.EXE click it.
Download to desktop then install.

- If you were force to upgrade your windows to vista, I thinks some of the drive are realy compatible on your system.
- You may want to run windows update service pack 1 , It might help you resolved some of the issue.
-Give me more some details of your issue (error-pop-ups, bluescreen)

Go to
www.lavasoft.com and download Adaware Free Edition, and run a scan for spyware. If you dont have a good Anti-virus scanner do a search in google for AVG free. Those two are really good at keeping your machine relatively free of Virii and spyware.

If after a scan of both anti spyware and Anti virus shows clean, reboot your machine and try to open and close some internet explorer windows again. If this is still a problem you may want to find out what version of Internet explorer you are running, if it is version 7 you could try to repair the installation and see if that helps.

Alternatively you could remove Internet Explorer 7 altogether and continue using version 6 if it has no problems running.
Hope this helps.

It is probably a leftover problem from spyware or a virus.
Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Windows\System32

Click Folder Options on the Tools menu.
Click the View tab
Select Show hidden files and folders, under Hidden files and folders

Now find cmd.com and delete it
Don't touch command.com, only cmd.com.
Check also for the file ping.com and delete it if it exists.

Warning: Don't delete cmd.exe and ping.exe only the files with .com extension. Be careful, because you are working with system files here.

Good luck
