Deleted too trying to kill a virus - now can't access .exe files.

I was infected by a virus "Vista Antispyware" that blocked practically everything (cmd, taskmanager, all Web sites).  I got taskmgr opened with a Ctrl-alt-del and tracked the problem down to a file named gbj.exe, restarted and opened in the safe with command prompt, use attrib to remove the system attribute and display the file.  Another reboot and I deleted the files in the window of the 'user' / appdata/local directory.  I think that I missed when I deleted all the files in the directory ' local/temp', because I cannot now open all .exe files.  When I try (even to click on the explore) the system prompts you to "choose which program to use to open this file"... If I choose Explorer, he circled back and asked again (and again...).  If I select "Search for the appropriate program on the web", need me to "shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=exe" this does anyone know how I can replace everything that I deleted, so I don't have to go through this every time to get on the web?  (Once I'm on the site of 'shell' I can just type my destination in the address bar - but what a waste!) (by the way - it get rid of the virus)
