Exclamation Disk difragmentor and spyware and malware

Hi I'm new and I need help


Two days ago one of my friend ask me for a favor and she need to conect her pendrive to my computer. I have the avast anti virus and when I conect her pen drive immediatly it's start to scream about virus but I ignored it until we finish the work. When I tried to delete this things the anti virus said (write?) that it cannot be deleted. It was rookit something and another thing ... someting win32 maybe? There where like ten and neither want to go out.

I download spybot but for some weird reason doesn't open .... I tried to digragment my computer but every time I opened the disk difragmentor closed itself and I can't disfragment and if things can't get worst my internet explorer is opening web adversitment (sp?) at least one every 30 min. It's super weird because I use fire fox .....


Hope you can help me .... my computer is not old and need it in good condition ....


Thanks,
Jun Bee

It's the exactly same thing as your "friend's" pen drive.

They are also know as thumb drives by some people...
