My computer has been infected with Windows Antivirus Pro. It won't let me open most programs and it doesn't recognized EXE files anymore. I can access the internet but not the registry. Help??

I had the same thing installed on my comp. I got that cleaned off with AVG but the Google Redirects and Trojan are still there. Currently working through that now. There are a few other threads here about this problem and you may have some luck working through the steps given. Unfortunately, mine was not resolved so easily.
Best of luck!
