I am using Windows XP Home Edition. This problem started 2 days ago. Every
folder I click on to open I get an error message....not a valid win32
application.Very frusterating!!Please help!
 
Hello Geneva,

What happens if you simply double-click My Computer on your desktop? We need to see if just a simple My Computer view has the same problem.
Are you having any other problems besides this?

Was something changed or added on this system in the past 2 to 3 days, or so?

Let's have you start by doing a virus & security check.
Run a free online antivirus & security check at Trendmicro
http://housecall.trendmicro.com

If the results show a problem or infection, write down all the details, and post back here with all details.

Get & run Silent Runners, which will help to determine which programs are auto-loaded at each Windows startup
<http://www.silentrunners.org>

The page has an FAQ link. If you need more guidance see "Using the script"
http://www.silentrunners.org/sr_scriptuse.html

Be aware Silent Runners is a script. You may need to tweak your antivirus or security program to allow it to run.

Hi Geneva,

IF your question is, "How do I get rid of the script for Silent Runners utility?"..... then, as per their FAQ ....
How do I uninstall Silent Runners?

Delete the file “Silent Runners.vbsâ€.


If on the other hand, you meant "How do I cleanup a malware infection", then ....
You are highly urged to follow the steps at
"The Parasite Fight Quick Fix Protocol"

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Do some cleanups first, and then visit the AumHa security forum.

IF you meant, how do I remove a NON-malware startup, then post back with more specific detail.
