• I am unable to run .exe files, uninstall programs, go to safe mode, others on top.

  Here's the question. Recently, I've been hit with malware any who try to act as a protection program. XP Security 2010 I think, this is how it's called. I have finally come down and get to run in normal mode, but when I try to do anything, including the internet, he asks me what he wants me to open with (providing a nice list of ol ' of programs such as photoshop, illustrator, etc.)

  I can't run anything, I can't go in safe mode, nothing. Help would be loved.

  Hello

  Use above message for intense and thorough check for malware.

• Unable to run .exe files during the installation of new software.

  I can't install new programs because my system asking you what program use and my internet explore doesn't open automatically however my knowledge is on my desk and works very well.

  Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

  If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

  Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

  http://www.dougknox.com/

  On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

  Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

• . Lost exe file association: need a permanent solution

  About 5-6 months, I had a problem with a .exe file association. I could not open any programs (gadgets sidebar, Skype, msn, etc.). I searched through many solutions which work.
  I downloaded Microsoft Fix It ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505MicrosoftFixit50194) which is supposed to fix the exe solution. In addition, before this, I used a patch of file from a website called .exe association: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html
  The use of the file association fix modified .exe registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT exefile (default) value given in "Application". Then, after some requests for windows support, he said to transform the value '%1' % *.

  Can I use the MicrosoftFixit, restart my computer, and then wait for maybe 5 minutes, and my programs load early upward. The fix would last maybe a few weeks and he was coming back, I would do the same thing and I fix it again. It happened maybe 4 - 5 times in the past months.
  Now, just recently, whenever I restart my computer, the .exe problem. So I would continue to use the current method, I do and after a long time (maybe 30-45 minutes - it happened more time because my computer is slowing down - for some reason), it works again (until I open my computer where he would once again). I need a PERMANENT solution to this .exe problem where I cannot open any programs. I system restored but it still has the problem after each relog in. Thank you for helping.

  Reitarate, I need a permanent solution to the .exe file association problem because the problem keeps coming back even if I fix it, after each relog in... Help, please

• I'll copy Mozilla firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet, I caught the virus of "Babylon" in this way.

  (1) you really have to make it easier to contact support. Get rid of password requirements!
  (2) I would copy safely Firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet. Really, we love and use firefox. I had to remove firefox because it came with the virus of Babylon.

  If you have been Babylon when you installed Firefox you may have installed it from an authoritative source (the only official place and secure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comEast). Please, never download Firefox from anywhere else.

  So, for your computers, be sure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comand you download the version official, convenient and safe.

  If you get Babylon on your computer, you can remove it easily without having to remove Firefox by reading How to remove the toolbar of Babylon, home page and search engine (Please note that Babylon is not affiliated with Firefox and we actively seek to solve these problems).

• Unable to run .exe files - windows for the application to launch guests

  When I try to launch a .exe, or .cmd file, Windows prompts you to wonder what application should I use to start the program. This happens on a single user profile on the machine, not the others. How can I fix this profile?

  Background:
  My child has apparently infected the computer. Whenever I started IE, two things happened:
  1. I have tons of warning messages that the computer has been infected
  2. I had the Vista "you want to run...?" question for the c:\users\tanya\app data\local\av.exe file

  I disconnected and logged on as an account administrator and then deleted the av.exe file. I have connected as a user infected, launched IE. Guests at the stop, but now I'm invited by Windows to how launch (apparently part of the java runtime) ssvagent.exe - since everything that I try to launch with a .exe or .cmd, or .com extension gives me a quick for applications to launch in. I suspect that the virus, the installation itself, not connected all the stuff.

  Then... How to hang it to the top? Advice?

  I recently had a virus on my computer, and it's file, he decided to corrupt. So, naturally, the antivirus got rid of him. Apparently, it was a pretty important, because now shortcuts to executables do work if I run as administrator (otherwise, I must point out the path for the time of EACH shortcut manually) and pitchers for the games that open several executables for the open game (EX: LOTRO) do any work.

  Hi Saeed,

  Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  This issue would have occurred as a result of a third-party program on a virus. Follow these methods to solve the problem:

  Method 1:

  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  For more information about how to back up the registry, see the link:

  Method 2:

  I also suggest you use the Microsoft Safety Scanner to remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software:

  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. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
