C drive only opens in system 32

[Peter77]

I opened a email that I thought was a legit one to my mistake I think it was a virus. When I go into my cpu my drives come up but I cannot open them by double clicking, the c drive opens system 32 folder when I do, and my f drive(extra HD) says cannot find '''r' makes srue you typed it correctly and try again. But I can right click and open by choosing the open option. Thanks for any help

Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links.  Be sure to save it to the Desktop.

Thks a bunch worked gr8 took lke 15 hours to complete all stages and I had to shut my cpu off and turn it back on to reboot everything. One thing I couldnt stop avg from running so I uninstalled it. now after the fix I am getting a meesage trying to install AVG again. I assume its from whatever the combofix did. Any clue how to fix it? thanks again                                                                                 Local machine: installation failed

Is that the entire ComboFix log you were given?  I've never seen it produce a log like yours; perhaps you should try it again.  As for your HJT log...run another scan and place checkmarks next to these entries...

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {5D60FF48-95BE-4956-B4C6-6BB168A70310} - (no file)

O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 search.netscape.com

O2 - BHO: WormRadar.com IESiteBlocker.NavFilter - {3CA2F312-6F6E-4B53-A66E-4E65E497C8C0} - C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgssie.dll (file missing)

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearch.html?p=ZN

O9 - Extra button: PalTalk - {4EAFEF58-EEFA-4116-983D-03B49BCBFFFE} - C:\Program Files\Paltalk Messenger\Paltalk.exe (file missing)

O16 - DPF: {1D6711C8-7154-40BB-8380-3DEA45B69CBF} -

Close all windows (including this one) and click on Fix Checked.  If you still have Paltalk Messenger installed on your computer, uninstall it.  Once you have done everything, post a new log.

Are you still having with AVG trying to install?  If so, then try running AVG Remover:

yeah ran the avg uninstaller tried to reinstall but same message?? I removed those buttons in hijack. Do I need to run combofix again? it took forever, should it have taken all that time? I started like 11am and finished next day around 4am but like I said it wasnt rebooting so I shut the cpu down and restarted but worked fine when I did I can open my files fine.

Okay, it looks like this is actually a permissions problem.  Take a look at this page here:
http://freeforum.avg.com/read.php?13,160321,160327#msg-160327

In that post, a moderator of the AVG forum explains how to fix this issue.

As for ComboFix...it usually only takes a few minutes.  I've seen it take up to 20 or 30 minutes on badly infected machines, but I have never heard of it taking several hours.  I'm going to look into this to see if I can find any information.  In the meantime, look through the above link and see if it helps with your error message.
