• After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

  After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

  original title: File Extension problems

  If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

  How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

  You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

  What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

  What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

  Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Like many also restore file associations.

  • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
  • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
  • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
  • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
  • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
  • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
  • Click OK
  • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

  Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

  There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

  If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

  Hello

  I would like to know the operating system you work with.

  Method 1) when you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Method 2) in case if it does not help, you must change the associated file. To change the file association for a specific file, you must first display the properties of the file.

  1. You can view the properties of a file by selecting the file and choosing 'Properties' in the file menu. Or you can simply right-click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu that appears.
  1. To change this file association, click the button change.
  1. You are given a list of recommended programs to open the file, as well as several other programs on your computer. The recommended programs are programs that Windows knows is going to be able to open the current file type. For this reason, choose a program from the list of recommended programs is a good idea. You can choose a program from the list of other programs, but the file cannot open.
  1. You can change this program opens all documents of a certain type of file, and then click the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
  1. Click OK

• When I try to open Firefox and explore, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file.

  Original title: open Firefox and explore

  When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly.  I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.
