• 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.

  When I click on anti virus install and automatic change Security Center is to disable and then start... .but still referring new problem and auto to turn off again, I don't know how you can keep this obtion to automatic. Please help me. :)

  Hi LalithNaveen,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. what security software you have installed on the computer?

  3 have you tried to start manually Security Center?

  I suggest you temporary disable the security software on the computer and then check if the problem persists.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Failed to retrieve the documents after removing a virus

  original title: strange Desktop

  Well, I recently opened my computer, which corresponds to about 1 year and a half old after cleaning those annoying false security virus and I noticed that my entire office was empty except for a few icons base such as computers that were left. This means that all of my pictures and word documents had "disappeared". In addition, I can't change the wallpaper of a photo or themes they have, I can use a solid color background. Now, back to the documents. I have the feeling that they are present, because when I save a document with a homonymous denomination on the desktop, it comes out with the classic "there is already a file with the same name... consider changing this blah blah" and I can play songs from itunes that well that are invisible on the desktop come from there. For more details, I created another account and it works very well in the show view-images and background themes. My thingy user accounts file is empty which is weird, because it's supposed to be where are all my documents, but I always have to open some that are in the recently opened in Microsoft word.

  The point of this question is just to ask if any1 else has had a similar problem and what to do? I prefer to recover my documents word if possible, but if this is not possible then I will just sacrifice their.

  You can check your download folder if you have not already, or if you received these documents in an e-mail or never sent, they could possibly be, check all mail or sent mail.

  You probably understood by now to do the manual backup is pretty important now days with any malware threats out there.

  Malewarebytes doesn't do a good job and is much better than what microsoft can do with security essentials garbage.

  Another good free product that is inexpensive to purchase so is.

• Please HELP: after removing a virus I've lost all my personal files, and I have no restore points to use as recovery.

  I had a guest to use a program called Windows restore, it looked and behaved as if what I thought was a Trojan horse.  Then I left the guest to the top and ran rKill followed by Malwarebytes, then the computer restarted itself.  But here's the error I made.  One of the websites I've read about the virus, told to turn off Windows system restore before you run these programs.  So I did, without realizing that the practice has so deleted restore points saved in the system restore.  Only the initial programs supplied with my computer start the CPU appeared on a black desktop computer.  My photos, music, documents and other programs I download weren't there.  Empty all files in my profile in my computer.  In addition to the recovery of the system Windows if not, how can I retrieve this information.  I've used up what little knowledge troubleshooting I have.  Thank you for your suggestions.

  Your files have probably been hidden.
