For one reason or the other my computer is unable to execute .exe files what i don't know wether it was hit by a virus or it has some other problem,I have converted all my exe files to com files as a temporary solution . How can i have full use off my PC without re-installing .I have a MCAfee anti-virus software but it doesn't seem to help.

You need to determine if this is indeed a virus. Run an online anti-virus scanner and see if it detects anything. AVG or Housecall are good ones.
