  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

• cannot open .exe files, add/remove files works do not (not too long on a computer far away)

  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:
