Guys and gals I need help. The other day I was talking on Windows Live
Messenger with a friend and a link popped up with something related to a
group in msn. The only thing I remember is that the end of the link had
".cmd". I clicked on it and nothing happened however, now none of my program
work. Everytime I click on the icon, the "Open with" window pops up and I can
not open any of my program because they have exe files. Does anybody know
what happened??? Help!!!!

You gave permission to install a virus in your pc.
get a good antivirus program like Kaspersky, or do a free online scan

One should know better than to click on an unknown.

You should do a thorough check for malware.
