Thread: No Programs Will Open

Lately I have had a very bad issue with spyware and it may have started from Firefox.

I used the Google search engine that Firefox has and it would redirect me to other sites no matter what I searched for.

I downloaded AVG free and check in Safe Mode. When I rebooted the PC, nothing loaded up! while I go to open something (exe files), and it can be anything from Paint, IE, AIM Firefox, Winamp, system restore, anti virus programs, the whole thing, it shows the "Open With" box that looks similar to this:



The only way I could get on Firefox to post this was to go to "Look for the suitable program on the web" link.

On the Task Manager, there looks to be things running, but I cannot open anything.

Try a windows restore;

startup computer with f8 and go for safemode
in windows goto commandprompt ( start->run->cmd )
then it's "C:\" <enter>
then "cd windows" <enter>
"cd system32" <enter>
"cd restore" <enter>
"rstrui.exe" < enter>
