  I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners.

• Application not found Error Messages

  Application not found error message Hi,.

  I recently had a virus on my Windows XP which I removed with Norton Internet Security.  The virus was called "XP Antispyware 2010".  After that I took it with the version of Norton Internet Security 2010 newly installed, I realize that I could not access the internet directly by clicking on the icon. a window will open 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 laptop programs or access directly.  Help, please.

  I called Symantec who tried to help.  Norton Internet Security has been removed from my laptop, but I still have the same problems.  I was then told that this isn't a problem with Norton, but with Windows and the file sharing/accessibility.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Hi, Debbie.

  First of all, Norton is not the choice of the antivirus, I recommend, and I seriously doubt that he removed all, if any, elements of Xp Antispyware 2012. Their support is not much better that you will probably notice now.

  The errors that you receive are obviously the result of the malware.

  We will try to solve your problems one at a time.

  Using another computer, and then transfer the files to the computer in question via revovable storage like a disk or flash/thumb drive click HERE. Download the file. Extract the contents of the zip file.

  Click HERE and download another zip file, extract the contents again.

  Right-click on the files one at a time of course and choose "merge". Confirm guests. You should now be able to open your shortcuts and executable files.

  Click HERE. Download Malwarebytes. Update Malwarebytes and perform a scan.  Choose whether to remove anything found. Once completed click HERE and download Superantispyware Portable. Perform a quick scan again remove anything found.

• Application not found error-choose the program you want to use to open this file

  Soon all the world.

  I really hope that someone will post a reply to my question as soon as possible. I will try to be as descriptive as I could possibly, in order to solve my problems.

  The main problem is that I can't open some, if all the program files, applications on my windows 7, 32-bit laptop. I'm constantnly get application not found error, showing in a small window address, I was trying to do. Whenever I want to open a program, like the Adobe reader, word of microsoft, excel, mozilla firefox, google chrome - basically everthing, a window opens and is telling me this: choose the program you want to use to open this file: file: acad.exe... and recommend me acrobat from adobe program, any program I was trying to enter (in this case autoCAD).

  Cannot open cmd, when I go to system recovery, it says: System Restore could not start. I normally post records in: C and: D sheet music, play music, watch videos and see photos. I found a "hole" not being able to go to the internet via a browser. I discovered it when I went to an online help in some of the trobleshoots. It would open tab in google chrome by itself and then on it, I can browse the internet normally, but only through the said track.

  Currently, the microsoft security essentials performs a custom analysis (: C and: D), because I suspect it is a malware, or some kind of virus. It happened when I tried to download a program from CAD Solidworks 2012 via a site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention, that I don't want. Unless it's okay with you :) It begins with a letter t. By the way, I noticed that my: partition D has accumulated 10 GB + more in the space of a few days, because I remember two weeks ago I had close to 70 GB of free space, now it's about 56.3 GB. Curious, because I know that I did nothing so great in this period. Maybe I need to tell you that I get this window, from time to time, when I browse the internet (I never visit suspicious sites, or at least I don't me remember more I visited one in a very long time, like 4-5 months):

  Original title: Windows 7 - Application not found. A big problem or easy-peasy?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  1. What is the complete error message you get when opening a file?
  2. What happens when you try to open the command prompt?
  3. What happens when you try to access the internet by using Internet Explorer?
  4. You did changes to the computer before the show?

  According to the description of problem errors you get "application not found error" and "choose the program you want to use to open this file" and not being is not able to do system restore, it seems that some windows file is corrupted. I also suggest you to post back the results of analysis.

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

  Method 1:  Run SFC scan and check for corrupted Windows files and violations of integrity.

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:

  For any question, where his prompting you to select the default program
  Try to set the default values for the program
  Change the programs that Windows uses by default
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/change-default-programs#1TC=Windows-7

  For any question, where you are not able to download and install firefox, download the file and save it and then try to install firefox.

  I hope this helps. Please let us know the results. Feel free to write us again for any help.

• Application not found error under XP

  Apps won't work. The moment seem to have 7 b 4 extension rather than approx. running XP... Have three user accounts on the PC. Both seem to work well. In the third, only the exchange of information and a file Works is able to open. (There is only one working of the existing file). The rest (Skype, AVG, CCLeaner, Firefox. Items in the Panel Office, ITunes, etc.) all the 'Say Application not found' when clicking on the shortcut OR go to the app in the start menu. Extensions now appear to be 7 b 4. My guess is / was associated virus. Any thoughts on how to diagnose and correct. Limited talent in this area.

  Thank you

  Unfortunately: none of these above methods has helped because I couldn't run any application, including virus scanners and spyware members (cccleaner and superantipspyware) within the affected account and when I ran the admin account the affected account remained unchanged. I've solved ranging on www.dougknox.com and used the application fix Exe... I ran later applications of antivirus and antispyware protection subsequently to doublecheck.  Thank you all

  When I try and open any application on my PC, I get the error message "choose a program to open this file with. I have not even that by trying to open the cmd window or all the apps in the control panel. I think I have a virus, but can not run any antivirus programs as they all won't open no - needs an application to open it with. I can not open IE. I copied the file rundll32.exe from another machine, but that has not solved the problem. I had the "XP security Suite" virus which I have tried to clean with the help of several anti-virus software. Can anyone help?

  Using Windows Explorer, try to navigate to \Windows\System32, right-click on cmd.exe, then choose open. If that doesn't work try to use the command.com program. Now, type assoc .exe = exefile and press ENTER. You may have to restart the computer.

  Then run MBAM.
