Two possible causes, I can think of...
A. Your exe files have been infected by a file infector virus.
B. Your registry settings have been altered, to run the virus before
running the requested exe file.

Given what's been common lately, the second seems more likely to me.

Try running http://www.invircible.com/download/fixregex.com
to fix the [HK_classes_root/exefile/shell/command/open] key in the registry.

Then try an online scan. See
http://www.claymania.com/anti-virus.html
for a list.
