Can anyone help please?

My son downloaded a dodgy .exe programme from a torrent site and opened it
up.

It has now completely messed up my vista operating system. It opens my .exe
programmes in Microsoft office picture manager. This includes Office (All
programmes)and Microsoft Works 9 among others.

I cannot use system restore as it opens in picture manager also.

It appears that a malicious person has downloaded it on to a torrent. I
cannot find it any more on the torrent site.

Can anyone advise a solution other than obtaining the back up disc and
re-installing the operating system and other stuff again?

To say the least I am a bit miffed as the laptop is used by myself to
present Powerpoint presentations.

Can anyone please advise?

Kind Regards

Airborne
 
Have you tried using a restore point to go back in time to before your son
did his download?

What part of "I cannot use system restore as it opens in picture
manager also" did you not understand?
 
Sorry missed that.
Did you also try opening a restore point is safe mode?
Did you try a full anti-virus scan from Safe Mode?
