• Help! A virus disabled my ability to computers to run an exe file when he clicks on or 'open' is used. 'Start' still works...

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem all right, people, it's really weird.  Just surfing the net and a few page popped up a window, Windows defender, either real or double window that seemed to be some kind of virus scan running and find all kinds of infections.  Search on my drive for files of virus claimed, however, nothing found.  Zone alarm has warned that a program named av.exe was trying to access various resources, which I refused him permission to do.  I closed the browser and activate zonealarm internet lock.  Now, by clicking on any desktop icon rather began the av.exe program, same as before.  I used the Task Manager to end.  Finally, I found the file av.exe, a hidden file in the documents and settings/Peter/application data / directory and deleted.  So now, either by clicking on any application, destop, or the menu, including the Panel, appears a window wondering what program I want to use to open the file, or a warning that no file association is defined for the file.  Linking screen for the Windows Explorer file reports assoiations appropriate for all files, but does not list the exe or com all file extensions.  Attempt to add them (abandoned) presented a screen that windows already knew they were applications.  So now I'm at a loss.  This little beastie hurt not only managed to get by zone alarms various filters and screens, but itself installed and screwed with stuff.  I can't start applications normally.  To right click and use "start" from the pull down.  And some processes that are expected to be called by other programs to run into the same problem, so do not work.  I ran a system restore (had to do it from safe mode to make it work) for a few days, before this problem, but it doesn't fix it.  Nor, do one of the registry scanners I ran to try to find errors.  found a bunch, but the problem remains.
  • I'm puzzled.  What should do?   How can I reset windows to know that an exe file "opening" means to run the program?    Oh, and at this point, restart now does not start most of the things that are supposed to start on a startup, zone alarm, mouse drivers, etc..  Even the appearance of the taskbar has changed its background color blue back...

• How to open exe as exe files?

  Well, this shouldn't be a hard question because I've done a bit silly and simple.

  I watched an exe file and I said, Hey wouldn't it be cool if I open an exe with .txt and looked at the source code for this game? I went to properties and changed the open a txt. of course, I couldn't see the source code, but what was really weird was the fact that now all my exe files open as txts. I thought, if I put exes to be opened so that, no matter what either their suppose to be open as, I'd be well. However, after some research, I realized it is actually a specific program that opens the exe. What should I do now? I will never be able to open exe again without having to reset windows?

  Take a look at this link: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/exe-file-association-windows-7-vista/

• Rundll32.exe missing, unable to reinstall open rundll32.exe or .exe files

  Then I looked around and discovered I had a virus, XP Security, erased rundll32.exe when it was faded.  Now, I found another copy on my computer to ISO recovery that accompanies it (thank you, MSI), but it is useless, because I can't OPEN. EXE FILES.  I had internet explore to open internet Explorer by selecting in the menu open with that appears whenever I open a .exe file, and that worked for a few other programs (World of Warcraft, as well, mainly to test).

  So, what should I do to open Rundll32.exe when my computer won't let me choose Rundll32.exe as a program to open Rundll32.exe with.  I select it in the open with menu by means of travel, and it does not appear in the list of programs that I can use, such as Internet Explorer and wow.

  I wanted to talk to someone on the phone for 5 minutes to understand this point, but that costs 20% of this cost my computer ($50, im on a netbook).  Come on, $ 50?  really, microsoft?

  Thank you for your response. Here's my problem. I'm on a laptop at the moment. My problem is with my desktop windows xp home edition. I can't access a Web site or make it appear an address bar imput your link. Whenever I click on internet explore or itunes or whatever it is that must be open to the top, I get the 'open with' box and it says: "choose the program you want to use to open this file. I tried to remove the rundll32.exe and go back in the folder.

  When I go to the c\windows\system32\rundll32.exe folder and remove the file, I go back to the results of the research, and he returned in the results of research after a few seconds.

  Thanks again.

  The goal is to not do not delete the rundll32 permanently, but replace it with a replacement valid. If your MAP replaces the file then it is useless to continue to delete.

  That said, the best way to solve this problem is to use a flash (USB drive) drive or other removable media to download and run the file on the link I gave you. However, if you do not have access to removable media, you can try to manually reassociate the executables.

  CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.  Once there, click file, and then hold down the CTRL key and click New task (run).  This will open a command prompt window. On the command line type assoc.exe = exefile > press ENTER. You should receive a prompt action succeeded.

  Looks like your shortcuts can have been so separated. On the command line type assoc.lnk = lnkfile > press ENTER.
