Hello,

I ran into this problem somehow and from here it's getting worse and worse. I'm not THAT great with the tech knowledge, so I'll try to explain this the best that I can.
I'm running windows XP home addition, and I had a virus "windows antispiware pro" tried erasing it with mallware- and now this happened: I can't open anything at all!!! I just tried opening "Control Panel" and error message comes on "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the "Folder Option control panel".
This message also appears when I try opening any programs,

Please- does someone knows whats going on??

Thanks you
