I'm having the same exact problem as this person and when I tried what someone suggested on there it didn't help me at all if ANYONE out there can help me please please do I'm desperate! I think I'm going to cry I've tried a few different places and no one is helping!!
"Hi Everyone,
As per some people recommendations, inorder to clean my pc against virus, I
have downloaded and ran
"Spybot - Search and Destroy" program. After it finished its work , it said
it has cleaned so and so.
However to my utter surprise, now I am not able to use my PC at all.
Whenever I try to any program say ,notepad,
I get the message "This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create an association in the
Folder Options Control Panel".
This is so shocking that I tried to fix the virus issue and I am not even
able to start anything or even work on my computer.
Let me tell you,firstly
the spyboy has created a system restore point before it started its
process.
Then gave me a list of all the problems that my PC had.
And then when I pressed the fix button it has "so-called" fixed. However
that fix ,I think,
has screwed some very basic information in the registry. Because of which
even
basic applications(in fact nothing) are not running.
I was so happy that, it has removed so many unnecessary programs and files,
however it has also
tampered with some very basic required files or registry. So finally I have
restored my PC to a desired restore point.
So everyone out there, do you have any further suggestions at this stage.
Anyway, watchout before you use any kind of such programs.
Waiting for all your updates.
Thanks,..."
