I have been trying to work on a problem on a laptop "acer" that had viruses and spyware on it.Seem to have got rid of them eventually although big problem now is,when i try to open up a "exe" files i get the Windows which program do you want to open up this .exe file with,i have tried using explorer but it then just opens up another box.??? How can I get these .exe files open,naturally i must be missing files from when taking the viruses out. Help appreciated.
have you tried system restore in safemode to before the infections as had to do that recently with customer who was infected by malware?
It was so badly infected the system restore and the windows security center had disappered.I can see a reformat coming here.I tried to load the safe mode but again no exe files would start to run a malware program,these infections are awful if not dealt with asap.Thanks DDP. NeilC
Yeah tried the adminstrator acc in safe mode.Still these exe.s would not start up.Strangley enough i went into task bar manager and programs running,and there were loads missing. Even worse the security center had wiped itself out(virus did). Lesson learnt here keep everything upto date.
Yeah have done this and all ok and working fab. Thanks for your help and your support. NeilC PS antivirus loaded ,updated and all spyware+malware options taken also.cheers
