Hey.

I recently found out that I had several trojan horses on
my computer which were stealing my bandwith. I wiped them
out with McAfee Virus Scan, but now there's a bigger
problem.

Whenever I attempt to open any program whatsoever
(excluding music, video, internet explorer and text) I get
the following message :

"Cannot find the file (file location) (or one of its
components). Make sure the path and file name are correct
and that all required libraries are available"

I click ok and windows explorer display's another
message "Cannot run this command"

All the files I click on are on the computer. I tried re-
installing them, but it wouldent let me install it either!
Please help, anyone!
 
If you're having this problem for all your applications it sounds like the
viruses did more damage than McAfee was able to fix - they may have created
an unknown number of backdoors. Your best bet is to back up your data
files and rebuild that box.
