One of my friends system got effected from a unknown virus which makes a copy of itself using the name of container folder in every sub folder I installed avast 4.8 professional in system and it removed the virus from the system now a problem occurred from my computer I can't open any partition of the drive including C: drive using conventional double click but I can explore them using right click and selecting explore. One of partition was small and copied its content to the other partition and format the previous partition copied back the content problem solved but other partitions and their contents are to big to use that approach as well as I don't think it is the correct solution.

So suggest me the best solution.
 
only instead of C write D and E or whatever the drive you want to repair:

go to command prompt and write this command

(if c drive is infected)

c:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf

c:\> del autorun.inf

(if d drive is infected)

d:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf

d:\> del autorun.inf

restart the pc

And here's the another suggestion from one of my friend.

1Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

2. press ok

3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded

4. that' s it

Check after restart double clicking drive to open.
