• Open with / Application not found

  I me was a virus called 'Vista Internet Security' told me almost everything on my computer has been infected, and he tried to make me buy a $ 50 allegedly program fix. I knew it was fake, so I used SUPER Anti Spyware Free Edition to get rid of him. He got rid of a few horses of Trojan and spyware rogue file. I was so happy to make it out of my computer. But I restarted and now when I try to open something (e.g. Mozilla Firefox) a window pops up that says: "what do you want to open this file with?" and, of course, I just want to go on the internet, not open it with anything. It will open on a regular basis if I right click and click "Run as Administrator" but won't some files. For example, if I double-click on Microsoft Works, it will say "Application not found" and if I right click on it and click "Run as Administrator", it is said also that. I don't know why it does this, if anyone can help me?

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

  You may need to do a file at a time.

• 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):

• Failed to open application error "Application not found".

  A week ago, my computer has been assaulted by an anti-spyware scam (it happened), and I got a code off of the Internet to stop it. Because, as those who are familiar with it, you can not go on the Internet unless buy you it or have an activation code. But, after having done that, a few days later, my computer started acting strangely.

  Another thing, now I can not access my Microsoft Works. I click the icon and the House appears, but he says that "Microsoft was not able to open the selected project. The file may be damaged. "I can access now not all of my files on Microsoft Works.
  Another thing, which is really weird, a day trying to get on the Internet my computer made me choose the program by which I wanted to go on the Internet (what?). So, I had search for Firefox. And, it does not only for the Internet, he is also for Microsoft Works and other programs on my computer.
  And she always does when I try to go on the Internet.
  Another thing, I am not able to download or install anything more. I really think that my computer has a virus. When I try to download/install something, there is a message that appears that says something on the lines of "Application not found".
  I tried the system restore, but it doesn't seem to work.
