Help please. Hidden files option and Run command dissapeared.

I run a Windows XP based computer. I've always been able to deal my way out of problems with virus, spyware and such, not that i'm an expert but i manage but this is weird-

I probably got infected trough my mom's laptop, i got a file from her through a USB and have been in trouble since.

I was using the AVG antivirus, but felt it was time to change, so i uninstalled and tried the AVAST - it was during this change the problem started-

SYMPTOMS:
1.- The Tools > Folder Options - is missing.
Tried -w/no result: Click Start, choose Run and execute regedit.

Navigate to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Look for a value called NoFolderOptions on the right panel

Right click on the NoFolderOptions value and choose delete

Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Right click on NoFolderOptions on the right pane and choose Delete

Also tried w no avail:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer and look for the registry entry NoFolderOptions in the right pane and delete it.
---

2.- No RUN button through START nor through Task Manager -

---

3.- Automatic renaming of files and folders, which turn into shortcuts, which actually lead to some .exe file AND the files which got renamed are now hidden (and adding the fact i cant see hidden files make it awful)

---

4.- FIXED: Cant navigate to certain antivirus websites.

---

5.- FIXED: Antivirus scan stopped - antivirus windows closing.

Any Help will be appreciated and for sure, the first forum to have an answer to this... i haven't found any forums that have actually solved this...

Ok then, thank u!

 

Have you tried using a Restore Point from before the time the problems began?

If that is not available or if you have tried and did not resolve problems,
go here for malware removal procedures and instructions:

READ & RUN ME FIRST

 

Hey, there is no restore point available... i disabled it a while back... let my try what u say...

 

Your computer is most likely infected.
Travel to malware forum.
