Hello
- You did changes to the computer before the show?
- What version of web browser work?
You can temporarily disable the antivirus software, and then try to install programs, and also try to open .exe files to check if that helps.
Check the link for more information.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
Note: 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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
I hope this helps!

Help me Obi Kenobi won, you're my only hope. (Sorry, has.)
I got a virus called XP 2010 antivirus, who kept asking me to buy their software. I did a security analysis of microsoft online, which didn't seem to help. I noticed that I am still unable to open wordpad, notepad, etc... Also unable to do a system restore (giving the window "choose the program you want to use to open this file. ("File: rstrui.exe").
The same basic "choose program" window opens for almost everything on my computer, including Mozilla Firefox, all my antivirus software (including those suggested I download to fix this), add/remove programs, and I imagine many other programs just yet, I have to try.
I tried to open "My computer" once and my computer to freeze to the origin. I once again and used ctrl alt del to see my process of and noticed a caled "cinemanowsvc.exe" process was running and associated with a software movie I got... so I told him to stop this process of visualization, and after doing so could open 'my computer '. I suspect that the virus may be in the cinemanow program and want to remove it... but I'm also not sure if this is my problem.
A lot of the tabs on the lower bar, near the clock seem to be missing, and the computer seems to restart very slow... I have UBUNTU (almost Linux) on my hard drive that is partitioned and UBUNTU seems to have dropped the event.
If you could help, that would be the most awesome of you!
Note: I have also tried to open my software in safe mode, but I am unable to do so.
It is difficult to tell exactly how much damage has been done to the system and whether or not it is worth trying to fix or start over.
If it's just a matter of file associated with etc, then look at:

Thank you, Sai
It seems to me that you would need to downgrade your DB to do this, since you move of 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.1.
If possible, you should update your 11.2.0.1 11.2.0.2, re-attempt to restore server.

Cannot open .exe files, cannot open any programs
My computer worked fine until last night. Now, every time that I click on a shortcut, or try to open any program, I get this error: this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.

I went through all the previous posts on how to fix this. None of them will help because I can not use any program exe. Can anyone help me please with this problem. I tried to download malwarebytes but cannot run it because it is exe. Can someone help me please?
You have a virus. Prolly a classic Trojan horse. Restart in Mode safe, see what's going on, post it here. Otherwise, don't forget you're computer is constantly running .exe files to run, there is something preventing you to do. We must get to the bottom of this.
