Hi, i hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I recently did windows update (downloaded malicious removal tool) and once
completed most of my .exe files have turned into LNK files? When I try to
open them I just get the 'open with' box or 'search for extensions' on the
net. Explorer is still working but no microsoft applications are opening. I
can't use system restore either.
I would be very very grateful if someone could help as I've searched the net
but t no avail yet, could it be a virus or worm?. I am running XP home SP2.
Many thanks
