I can't open programs

[Guest]

Whenever I want to open a program(.exe), "Open With...." windows will come up
and ask me which program you want to choose to open the files.

Use the system Restore tool and scan your system for malware.

Even opening System Restore will appear "Open With.......". So, I can't open
System Restore.

Try Start > Run: %windir%\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe

Just another way to proceed:

"Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension"

Note that none of these procedures removes the malware causing that
problem.
