Explorer windows disapear when accessing some directories and web pages

Expand Post »
The Problem :"Explorer windows disapear when accessing some directories and web pages and I cant access TRENDMICROS housecall"

For this matters I use Spybot, Adaware and Hijackthis...............any help would be deeply appreciated

It began when I found a WEBREBATE process running with the task manager, later I found the WEBREBATE directory on my program files. This all happened after running Spybot and Adaware several times. So I errased the directory. Then I ran Adaware and found an entry for BULLGUARD which I hadent installed, so I errased it with adaware and then did a search with windows search for BULLGUARD, so a directory with that name was found on my program files directory.

Here comes the weird part, whenever I tried to open the BULLGUARD folder.......the window closed, I would click on the BULLGUARD folder and EXplorer closed.

So I tried looking for BULLGUARD on my Browser with YAHOO!, GOOGLE, ALLTHEWEB and guess what.............after typing BULLGUARD and hitting enter...........EXPLORER would close.

I had never used Hijackthis before so I decided to run hijackthis..........and EXPLORER would close whenever I clicked on the HIJACKTHIS folder.

To add on the weirdness, whenever I tried to contact TRENDMICRO to run Housecall virus scan, the browser would say that it cant open the page........and a friend of mine has no problem doing the same thing on a computer in the next room.


So I decided to run the three programs on safemode. Since I am not very hijackthis saavy, I only errased the entry for WEBREBATES.
Now I can run everything without going into safemode and the BULLGUARD thing has dissapeared.


But I still cant contact TRENDMICRO and for some reason whenever I try to run regedit it says that the administrator (me) has disabled registry editing tools (not true becouse I dont know how to do that).

Adaware has found and errased this entrys more than once:
