Unable to start programs

N

Nargoon

I am operating with windows xp. Suddenly I am unable to
start any executable programs. Anything that uses a .exe
command will not work. I receive message saying it cannot
find the file and to check its path (which I have). I
have done the following:
-I have the newest patches available for windows
-I ran an online virus scan and found one problem file
which was..
"bkdr optixpro.13" located in "windows/system
32/mpldfg.exe"
it was unable to clean this file and recommended it be
deleted which I did.
-I checked the knowledge database in windows and found
what appeared to be a similar problem which was
attributed to the "Pretty Park" virus.
-I did a file search for any of the suspect files in that
virus and found none.
-I also booted with Norton antivirus 2003 and did a virus
scan that way.....results were negative. I cannot load
the programs since the setup uses an .exe file.
HELP....any help would be appreciated.
