Hi,
When ever I try to open any sort of .exe file, my computer asks me to choose a program to open the file with. I have no idea what's going on. Before it started doing this, my windows explorer kept crashing so I rebooted. Now I cannot open any .exe files Although,
I can get onto firefox. Not through a desktop icon or through program files or even through the start bar. At the bottom of the "open with" window is a link to a microsoft page. If I click it, it lets me onto firefox without an "open with" window popping up.

If this is the "Virut" virus it is almost impossible to remove and usually requires a fomat and reinstall of windows. If it is not we may can help.
Open notepad (Start Menu > Run > Type notepad and press "ok".
Copy and paste everything into notepad between the x's making regedit4 the top line.

1. Go offline turn off your AVG antivirus, and any other antispyware that you may have.
2. Run Combofix and save its log.
3. Restart the computer to get the antivirus running again but leave the antispyware programs off until we get the computer cleaned.
4. Post the Combofix log.
Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet.

The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.

4. Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
5. Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
6. Click View scan report at the bottom.
7. Click the Save Report As... button.
8. Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply.
**Note**To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
Close any open programs.
Turn off the real-time scanner of all antivirus or antispyware programs while performing the online scan.
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.
