you should see FOR FILES OR FOLDERS AND ON THE INTERNET then right under that
there is something there that says VIRUSES then USING MICROSOFT EXPLORER
under it. But I run my anti-virus and results show no virus. Does anyone have
any idea how to get rid of this?

Another problem I am having is that my screen at my desktop starts opening a
bunch of pages one after another. It goes crazy. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace objects

See this page for more information on using ShellExView utility (see Method
2 in that page).

I believe that these are all the ones for AVG...

"Virus" entry is added by Grisoft AVG Anti-virus. Custom search handlers are
implemented in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FindExtensions\Static

Each sub-folder represents a search handler. Select the appropriate sub-key
which you want to remove, and then delete it.

Be sure to backup the registry first at any case, though it's not a critical
registry key.
