I had a virus through AOL IM (more discussion can be seen on the following forum: http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/15134.html) and I fixed it by deleting DrWEBAV.exe and using an AIM fix that was posted in the forum. Since fixing this problem, I no cannot open any file on the computer. I can run task manager and IE, but My computer will not open.
I have run adaware, SpybotS&D and HijackThis (i can post the log file if anyone thinks it will help) as wells as the antivirus scanner on the computer and McAfee's Stinger Virus fixer. I have no idea what is going on and would greatly appreciate some help.
