so plz help me guys to remove it from my system.i also scanned my system from avg but not any benefit was there

What happens to explorer....how has it stopped the working of explorer

Do you have any antispyware programs installed which u can run and scan for spyware

R u able to download.....open internet explorer (if mozilla is not working.....download some program via webrowser....that way u can install a antispyware program and scan for spyware......

Do you have a previous image which you can fall back on

Or maybe have u got atleast a previous system restore point .

Can u post the name of that program. It may be a virus that your Avira couldn't detect.

its name is windows security pro.

If not conficker, use a good registry cleaner to start with. Run CA Yahoo Antispy, then try CCleaner. You will find the links here
