I got some virus probably from my friend's pen drive. Here are its details. When I log into my account I got a message INTERNET EXPLORER HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO CLOSE. So after getting this message again and again I started digging my pc for possible causes then I found something new in my C:\Windows\Install there was a file named SERVER.EXE having an icon just like a JPG or JPEG have. Furthermore I found a file named SERVER>EXEP9uri(something like that. I forgot the alphabets after EXE). I deleted both the files. But it happens to be there after every two seconds. Additionally I found something in my Regsitry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run\ and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ DWORD Value Name: HKCU Value Data: C:\WINDOWS\system32\install\server.exe Can you please help me in removing this virus. I've Windows Security Essentials installed on my PC and have also tried windows malicious software removal tool but no gain.
