Files won't open

[Guest]

When I try to open any given file, I recieve the error msg, "this file is not a valid win32 application" What does that mean?
It seams as though I have various viruses and worms on my computer, what is the best way to get rid of them forever? I don't have software for removing them, what would be the best bet?

Invalid win32 application either means that it did not download the entire
file (got chopped off somewhere)or it corrupted on your disk. Another way of
getting this error is to take a random file and rename it to .exe to see the
same error.
