Programs in window 7 wont load/run/install except for internet explorer 64 and some other programs?
-
The only executable program I can run is Internet Explorer 64-bit. All other programs do not open when I click them - either the shortcut or the icon in the folder. This includes all Microsoft Office programs, AntiVirus programs, Firefox, etc. When I click the program, the timing circle comes up next to the cursor for a couple seconds, then disappears. I've tried looking at task manager when I click the program. For many programs (not all), the task process shows up in "Processes" tab for a second, then disappears. The program never shows up under tasks in the "Applications" tab of Task Manager. For some programs (mostly MS Office) I get a prompt "There was a problem sending the command to the program". Windows/Programs I can open: Windows Explorer (for My Compter, My Documents, etc.), 64-bit IE, Wordpad. Methods I've already tried: 1. Restart, both cold Windows restart, and restart in Safe Mode with Networking. 1. Removing all startup items using msconfig window. Even when all were removed, I can't open any programs. 3. Using Cntl-Alt-Delete to correct windows file associations. typed in "assoc .exe=exefile. 2. Restoring default registry files. Direction was taken from here: This problem started after I tried to remove an Antivirus2010 bug. I followed the instructions found here and then tried Adaware to remove any additional spyware. My thought is I screwed something up when replacing the HOSTS file, or I removed something I shouldn't have using the AdAware anti-spyware program. This has been extremely frustrating and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Answer:
You followed the wrong instructions. I don't know who gave you the instructions you followed, but they were wrong...My suggestion now is for you to go to bleepingcomputer.com malware forums, and ask them what you should do next.

Since they are actual experts they are very busy at that site, and it may take them up to five days to respond to your question, but it will be worth the wait. create an account, and give as many details as you can remember on what you had, and what you've done to try and remove. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum22.html Help, and tools needed are free at bleeping computer.
