My pc has encoutered a strange error. It does not show hidden files, when in 'folder options' i check 'show hidden files' it doesn't do that. After clicking 'apply' and 'ok' when i reopen 'folder options' 'dont show hidden files' option is checked. Today i uninstalled avira antivir and installed quick heal and the problems started after that.
its a worm. dont remember the name.
do full system scan.
Scan ur computer with SUPERAntiSpyware free version and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware free version
Note:Before doing scan update there definition.
i already did quick heal boot time scan.and only 3 trojans were found.
DO online AV scan

Using an antivirus to remove the worm doesn't repair the damage that's been done. You need to modify some registry keys to get back to original settings, I did find them long ago when I was inquisitive, now I must look for them on some sites. I shall be back with solution.
EDIT:

i will try those links. Lets hope it works.
download Emsisoft Anti-Malware & do a full system scan. delete whatever malware is found. then download TuneUp Utilities 2011 & let it fix problems for you. if still the problem persists, you may need to edit registry keys manually.
I already have tuneup 11. I've fixed the problem manually by following the links given by razorbladextreme
