Every time I open a folder, I get a warning or an error?

Question

Every time I open a folder in my computer, such as videos. I will either get an error and the folder will close, or I will get a pop-up that says "Dangerous error!

Attention, Derek! Some dangerous viruses detected in your system.

Windows Vista (TM) Home Basic files are corrupted.

This may lead to the destruction of important files in C:/Windows.

Download protection software now!

Click OK to download the antispyware. (Recommended)"

If I click okay it will take me to http://www.totalsecure2009.com/download.php

The thing is I have McAfee and I have scanned my computer four times.

If I get an Error it will pop up that windows explorer has stopped working (Which I'm not running at the time.) It will close out, taking up to 20 seconds. This can happen with anything, anytime, like when I'm making my Videos with Windows Movie Maker it will just say this error and close.

Please help!
