Please follow the steps located in THIS thread. If that doesn't clear up your infection, post your HijackThis log in the Malware forum. If, after receiving a clean bill of health from the malware staff, you are still having problems, continue posting in this thread.

I haven't really tried doing it yet so I don't know it worked, but I wanted to know if I deleted every thing like the actual folders? I have 4 folders under Policies which are ActiveDesktop, comdlg32, Explorer, and system. Do I delete each of those folders except Explorer or just whats in them?

Please go to the malware forum in my signature and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .
That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.
If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

If you manually delete the Explorer subfolder you will also erase legit settings that may have been put there. It is best to advise on a case by case basis.
Please refrain from posting malware advice unless you are cleared to.
