    Its a malware problem.
    Run both these programs.

    Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of these places:
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe

    Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    If it will not run make a copy of the MBAM.exe and rename MBAM.exe to xxx.exe and run that.Keep the genuine MBAM.exe as we may need to run that later as is.
    * Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    * If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    * Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
    * The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
    * When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    * Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    * When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
    * The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    * Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log.
    Please Note:
    If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediately.

    I think its a worm & you need to scan your machine with a good antivirus!
    Have you updated your antivirus product before scan? scan with a good spyware & malware removal program.

    So many people have tried changes in registry item to get rid of this problem but i have got a very simple way to do that.
    First find the autorun.inf file on your computer than copy this file to anywhere else on your computer.
    Now open this file in notepad and delete all entries from that.
    Than type Open=c:\windows\explorer.exe.
    Than save this file and copy this file in the drive letter you can not open.( Right click on the driver letter and click on open ) and restart the pc.
