Cannot open programs after the installation of Norton

So, my computer recently picked up a virus affecting internet Explorer. I installed a new copy of Norton Internet Security, when I realized my virus protection was rendered obsolete and the Vista firewall was not enough. The virus is now gone, unfortunately is if my ability to open ALL programs on my computer. When I try to open a program, windows asks me what program I want to use to open the program and sends me an error message. This includes verification of the admin system.

Hello

Your best bet may be to restore your system to a point before that you have a virus. I hope it wasn't too long.
You will need a Vista DVD. If you do not, you can barrow one.
Here is a nice step by step guide with pictures

You lose everything was happening between now and the time before delivery, but you should go back to a point where your system works well.
Please let us know if it works for you.

  • Cannot open programs after the removal of virus to the AVG Virus Vault and rebooted.

    Hi, I have AVG 2011 Free Edition and when I had a virus, AVG it is removed from the quarantine. He then told me to restart the computer to finish. So I restarted and I noticed that the programs which usually start up when I turn on the computer start (like AIM and others). In addition, when I try to open a program for example Firefox, it tells me to choose a program to open the file. It's really annoying and it won't let me choose a default program to open a specific file. Thank you all for the help!

  • Cannot open programs using the icons on the desktop

    Hello

    I just noticed that I can not access the internet directly by clicking on the icon. a window opens asking for me to choose the program I want to use to open IE.  He would then run the program but nothing happens and it goes in circles asking to select a program to open, run, etc.

    Soon I noticed that clicking on other applications would result in an error message saying "Application not found".  I can't remove programs from my control panel because it is inaccessible, I can't open Microsoft Office programs directly unless I go to my computer.  I can't do a system recovery or restoration; the same messages will pop up. So basically, I can't make any changes to my desktop or access directly programs.  Help, please.

    Thank you

  • Problems printing MS programs after the installation of Vista Service Pack 2

    After installation of SP2, I can print is more than MS Word. I can print from the web, but when I send something to print from MS Word, it seems to go to the printer, but nothing happens. The printer icon shows in the task bar at the bottom of the screen but no document is displayed as pending and nothing prints. I tried the suggestions I've seen on this forum including to perform a clean boot and run the System File Checker. To solve the problem. I do a lot of printing of the word, so it is a major issue for me. I can't keep running at the public library to print my documents! Aaaaargh.

    You tried the simple expedient of detection/repair or Office Diagnostics, depending on your version of Word.
    Check with the manufacturer of your printer that does not have a printer available update driver?

  • Cannot open programs from the internet, like Yahoo, icons on the screen or a task bar.

    Since IE8 download, programs online, such as Yahoo, won't open with a single or a double click.  I have to type prog address area address each time.  I've deleted and reinstalled affected shortcuts without success.  I understand the msg each time: "this file has no program associated with it. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel"but it does not work as there is no selection for this in the Control Panel folder Options, which I find in

    "Control Panel".

    -' Folder options '.

    Computerized programs, such as Word and EXEL normally open with a single click in the task bar.

    All was well with IE7.

    Your help please

    Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and highlight the HtM and HtML options and click on each one in turn and follow these procedures to set the default values for Internet Explorer.  If all goes well, this will solve most, if not all, of the problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problems with HTML content in programs after the installation of KB2847204

    After this update for IE8 all HTML/HTM-app content will open in my default browser, rather than display it in the application.

    So my browser would point to for example: file:///C:/Users/***/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/***.
    I tried a system restore too before some updates, and it helped.
    Then of course Windows automatically installed all these updates again and tada... the bug was back.
    Then I uninstalled the KB2847204 update and all was good.
    I don't have any Internet Explorer installed, this is probably part of the problem.
    For the record, my problem was solved by uninstalling KB2847204.
    Evil Google HTML and browser had and to find relevant help, maybe I can help someone with this post.
    Key words: local URL opens in the browser, in-application content HTML automatically opens in the browser.

  • Opening .jpg with the command 'Open with' after the installation of PSE 8.0

    Can someone tell me how to get PSE 8.0 to appear in the list of programs available (using Vista) when right-clicking on a photo? All versions of my previous PES (6.0, 7.0) appeared in the list. While Photoshop first elements is there, because I installed PSE 8.0 and uninstalled 7.0 PSE, I can't do a right-click on a photo and open it in PSE 8.0. I tried to reset the default programs and add to the list, but it simply does not appear. I don't know if something about installing glitched, although the program works fine - except that I can't open a picture in it without going into the program and then will OPEN, which is tedious. I've never had this problem before and much is different in PSE 8.0, so I don't know if its me, my computer, or something in the program?

    Any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of, including trying ot make the default program, but it won't do it either.

    Help!

    Thanks in advance if you can help.

    Surprisingly, I don't see this problem and could easily associate Jpeg with Photoshop Elements 8.0 Publisher. There are few solutions available on the net and you can try to see if they work for you. Here is the link to one of them: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/thread/672d29bf-4c46-4b68-ac75-a17ca9b18fb3

  • recover programs after the installation of automatic updates

    Without any warning whatsoever, my computer shuts down as automatic updates are installed. I lose all open windows that I work with. When the computer starts, my session is not restored. Files of works, open photo galleries, etc., don't open as well, if I lose my entire work session. If I try to "System Restore" which does not restore my previous session. This has happened on all computers (PC or laptop) I've owned. How can Windows or computer manufacturers with impunity do this sort of thing? There is no analogy, I can think of to describe the hideous and various annoyances behind this stupid practice. Our legislators should be informed of this type of crime on our privacy. It's like to be burglarized, having everything in your House upset, even stolen, and then having to put it all back together. It's like the gestapo of cyberspace.

    I agree. This is, by far, my favorite less "feature" of Windows.

    Looks like you'll have to (as you said) wound things manually. You should be able to go to the history menu (Firefox button > history) and look at the "recently closed tabs" and the submenus "recently closed windows" and restore a lot of what you had open. Also in the history menu, you can select "show all history" and can search if all sites you have been to.

  • Satellite C55 - C - 1 M 0 - cannot start Windows after the installation of the Dual Boot

    After I installed Ubuntu, when I try to start Windows, the process stops and says that there is a mistake: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. But I can't run Ubuntu without problem.

    Is there any special step before installing a Dual Boot with Ubuntu system?

    My laptop is a Satellite C55 - C - 1 M 0.

    Thank you. Kind regards.

    I guess the problem is due to changes in the size of the partition. I found a few questions about google with a ubuntu - NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM query. Maybe you should take a look https://www.google.fr/search?q=ubunt...sm=93&ie=UTF-8

  • Satellite A105-S2021: Sound had disappeared after the installation of Norton Antivirus

    Hi, I have an A105-S2021 and the sound was working fine, then yesterday I installed Norton antivirus, and now his fate quietly, it is impossible to hear, even with external speakers.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I never heard that the antivirus software has a bad influence on the sound, speakers or the audio driver.
    What you can do is to check the Device Manager if there is some yellow exclamation points.
    Also try reinstalling the audio driver. See the page of the Toshiba driver.
