Win Explorer problems
i really dunno what the problem is. Well lemme start at the beginning
see if i open a window and click any video file (mkv, avi, you name it) the win explorer closes.
error report
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000
if i try to open them using win media player, the win explorer closes and the media player can't play the file and also closes
error report
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.3646 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000
now to complicate things, i got a file from my cousin which contained a worm, called I-Worm/VB.KU. i noticed the explorer problems after i got this file.
spyware guard detected it but i am not sure if it stopped it as i tried to heal it but it was in a cdrom so it could not be deleted, so did i get infected or what?
are my explorer problems because of the worm? everything else in my system is functioning ok BUT viewing media files.
i also tried vlc to play the media files, and all is ok. i also tried opening a file, and used the vlc as a window explorer and all went well. i used it to move files and stuff. so am i infected or is my explorer screwed or what?
BTW i ran avg free and avg anti spyware, Advanced Spyware Remover and ad aware and found no worms or trojans. please help, i don't want to format my HD.

It's not surprising it is finding the same things
You have downloaded Illegal cracks from P2P sites instead of buying the programs & wonder why they are infected
There is no way you will ever fix this without dumping every P2P program you have
delete EVERYTHING you have ever downloaded using P2P and uninstall all the programs you illegally stole using the cracks
When you have done all that then run an antivirus scan & see what it still finds
It also looks like you have attempted to bypass windows activation & WGA validation with another illlegal patch & that is also what is being found
before we will even consider helping you any further
