You are probable infected with the virus.

A large number of posts lately are reporting that several functions of
Windows
Explorer (Explorer.exe) are failing, all with the same error message:
"EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module unknown
This includes trying to open "My Computer", Control Panel, Windows Explorer,
and
other functions.

So far, we have had luck with running Hijack This, marking this entry and
clicking
the "Fix Checked" button:
O2 - BHO: Core Library - {F281FFC7-6C63-4bf9-83F2-AB7A6157B109} -
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KDP2928.DLL
Then find and delete the file KDP2928.DLL

Alternately, you may instead find this entry:
O2 - BHO: Core Library - {D4D505DF-D582-400c-91B6-84921012AFE3} -
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PDF1C3B.DLL
Again, use Hijack This to fix the entry, reboot, and delete the file
PDF1C3B.DLL

Note that other CLSIDs and file names may turn up for the BHO "Core
Library", and in
that case those should be fixed and the associated file deleted.

The manual removal instructions at:
http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/s...ardprotect.asp
cover all or most of the variations, and should work for any of the versions
of that
particular malware.

Hijack This must be used with caution, as it finds both the good and the
bad. Do
not use it to remove anything other than this particular entry, without
first asking
for guidance in one of the spyware forums listed below.

Here is my standard post regarding Hijack This:

Download, unzip (if it is in a .zip file), and run Hijack This from one of
these
locations:
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...HijackThis.exe
Unzip or locate it to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder,
double-click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents,
or
similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix
anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at one of these forums:
http://forum.aumha.org/
Specifically -
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php...3f108b7 f3a1c

The folks there will tell you what to remove.
