'Search' show up on double-click (open directory)
 
hi, I got this strange problem recently.
when I double-click or want to open a folder,
the 'Search' will show up,
so I must use 'Explore' to access a folder.
Is it virus?
how to handle it?

I use Windows XP.

help me pliz!

Yes, this is a virus, but you need to check which Antivirus System clears it.

Its of course a virus. try restoring ur system in safe mode. if it doesn't work out install any AV's to clear it.

hi kiddo!
what problem u r facing moths ago I've faced same thing!
fact is that the problem is made by virus sure but its unrecoverable even u repair win xp after deleting the virus by any using any AV!
So I personally suggest u to back up ur important things and format ur pc then without opening any hard drives install a AV before proceeding with driver installation and while formatting format drive C in normal mode not in quick mode!
Bye the way what about ur AV?
Thanks....

Thx 4 the tips,
I've searched to some place,
and lead me to Microsoft Support site,
and I found the solution for this problem
(I haven't try it yet... :p)

Look like there were 2 registries changed by the virus,
so to fix it, open 'regedit'

Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell, modify to 'none'
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\Shell, modify to 'none'
