I can't apply the suggested dougknox.com registry fixes given the .REG
files aren't recognized. I can't open/run any .EXE files, nor can I
run the reg files. I can't open regedit either.
Trying to run any .exe or .reg file results in a "Windows cannot open
this file" dialog box.
Any suggestions?
FYI: Last night, BEFORE I got hit with this (virus?) problem, I
purchased/installed/ran Ad-Aware SE Plus from Lavasoft. Found no
problems. Rebooted my system this morning and Ad-Aware found about 49
registry edits as my system was booting. I didn't apply any of the
edits and this is where I am now. Also, I ran a Live Update to Norton
Antivirus just yesterday, and also ran pest patrol yesterday
afternoon.
The only way I got my internet explorer to open was to insert my XP CD
and browse a .html document, which opened. I then typed in a
google.com url
