"http://worid-of-books.com/?id=B4j4GgAACAAJ" & downloaded the file of soup,it was
"internationalsoupbook.pdf.exe"..i first suspect the file due to its format,but by
mistake i double clicked it,it ran in the background, it ran like a dos window program & then file disappeared.After that my all web browser closes as soon as i open
them(specially IE every times),IE also opens few sites like these automatically due to
this program or virus.
These are the sites which IE opens automatically

I had avast antivrus when i downloaded it n ran,but was not updated.I now updated the
antivirus,now it wont let me open the site("word of books")itself(it says malicious &
blocks it).I think this file is not a virus but a script which runs in background can

suggestion etc.(and i dont want to format my computer due to this small file which has
disappeared now)

This thread contains a classic set of signs that point to a system-level malware infection: browsers being forced closed/redirected and media playback behaving oddly. Treat the machine as compromised until proven clean. The pragmatic goal is to preserve personal data, stop active malicious processes, run layered scans from a clean environment, and only consider a full reinstall if cleanup fails. was correct to ask for diagnostic logs; ’s suggestion to try another browser and ’s reinstall idea are reasonable fallback steps but there are safer, less disruptive steps to try first.

Recommended cleanup workflow (ordered and practical):

  1. Immediately disconnect the PC from the network and remove any USB drives. Avoid online banking or entering credentials on the machine.
  2. Back up personal documents, pictures and other irreplaceable files to a clean external drive — do not back up executables or installers. If possible, attach that drive to a known-clean computer and scan the copy there.
  3. Boot into Safe Mode (or use a trusted rescue USB) and run process-stopping tools (RKill) followed by up-to-date full scans with a reputable antivirus and Malwarebytes (or similar). Run an adware/PUA scanner (AdwCleaner) and a rootkit check (TDSSKiller). Use Autoruns and Process Explorer to inspect/remove persistent startup entries.
  4. Produce the diagnostic logs @Rik_ requested (FRST/HijackThis style) so helpers can see specific entries before deleting anything critical. Reset browser profiles or create a new Windows user account to test whether the browser issue is profile-specific. Only reinstall the OS if rootkit-level infection persists or if cleanup cannot be completed.

Quick commands to run from an elevated prompt:

sfc /scannow
chkdsk C: /f /r
ipconfig /flushdns
netstat -ano

If media files still play incorrectly, copy a small sample to a clean machine to verify whether the files themselves are corrupted versus the player. If ransomware or file encryption is suspected, stop further writes and consult a specialist — a clean OS install and restore from verified backups is the safest long-term recovery.

Its better for you to reinstall your browser. And if you will still face the same problem then i would suggest you to reinstall your win. This is the only solution in my mind.

Try using other web browser and do a virus scan
