I was surfing some guitar tabs websites a few days back when norton antivirus&windows defender started to show danger signs.In panic,saw the defender say restart your computer and so I did.When the windows started again,I couldn't open anythin&a message kept on popping
'Windows explorer is not working'
Çheck the web for solution and restart the program'
or
'Restart the program'
That time as I didn't have any antispyware program&couldn't do anythin on the computer,someone told me to recover to an earlier date.So i did&it worked.The computer had started working properly again.
After that now AVG free edition,Ad-Ware,Spybot,Norton Antivirus&the Vista's Windows Defender...none of these show any sign of virus or adware/spyware.But my concern is I see some strange links n files around. Forexample there are 2 icons for www.asecurityboard.com on the desktop and found using startup manager that there is a 'launcher.exe'file set to operate on startup.
What exactly should I do now?
