He will not tell you the exact details other than it is something that is already working on the computer, but when I turned on my computer, I realized that my computer suddenly Signs "Mount Image" Daemon Tools 15-20. A closer look at my laptop revealed that some of my icons have been replaced by a file Daemon Tools. After cleaning the window 15 Figure Mounting who lived in about 5 seconds, it was quickly apparent that my computer can not run.
Exe file at all, which effectively disabled my anti-virus system because I just realized that the previous Windows 15-20 is the opening I tried to run.
Thus, I can not scan for viruses. I tried several measures, such as restoring my system, who can not work because it's an., Tried using Run to run the exe.
And uninstalling Daemon Tools. (Which uninstaller is exe and. Would not run.)
So now every time attempt to run the exe. Done, a window will pop into Mount Picture my face.
It includes Task Manager and RegEdit. The only program that works is Windows Explorer and Opera.
(For some strange way Windows Vista handles Default Browser, I can just run it from the Start Menu) also made half my Control Panel ineffective since. Etc. is the only one that works.
So is there a possibility to fix this, given that all the exe, Can not work?
My computer won't open .exe files on it's own, help?
Alright, so i got a few viruses on my computer after letting my 14 year old son go on it while i was away for a week. I ran an AVG scan and got rid of all viruses it found.
But one problem, my computer doesn't recognize .exe programs. I can run them, but i have to right click and click "run". it's just inconvenient, not a really big problem except for the fact that my computer can't open regular system programs that help run the computer and change settings for the computer. Whenever i click a program (.exe) file, it says "What program would you like to open this with", then gives a list of programs.
If i go to the control panel and click "Security Center", it says "C\Windows\System32\rundll.exe
Application not found"
I am using windows vista, and if anyone could help me that would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
I tried a file extension fix to fix the problem, i right-clicked and clicked "merge" like it said, but all it did was open it in a notepad document and let me view what was written. It didn't fix anything.
And yes, i rebooted before checking to see if the file association fix worked.
System also isn't recognizing .bat. The computer is running Windows XP
I've been working on this for a while. It's my dad's computer, and he didn't have any anti-virus program running. Nothing on the computer was working correctly. I couldn't even open notepad or a command prompt. I ran two rescue programs that boot to linux and scan -- Dr. Web Live and AVG. They both found several infections and removed them, but the computer still wouldn't work correctly, and I couldn't install anything and run it.
I did get the internet working, and I was able to run eset's online scanner. It again found infections and removed them, but the computer has still disabled most file extensions. I then removed the hard drive and scanned it with another computer using emsisoft's emergency scanner. It removed more infections, but the computer still wouldn't run anything.
Right now, the programs that show up in the start menu are being viewed by the system as .pdf (meaning they have the Acrobat icon next to them), including system restore, notepad, windows messenger, and the programs I've downloaded to try to restore the registry.
I found some instructions for the Doug Knox fix, but I wasn't able to use it on this computer. If there is a way to use it with the hard drive plugged into a dock and attached to another computer, I could try correcting it that way, but I don't know how to do it.
I also tried using rkill and exehelper available at http://www.geekstogo...t-run-tutorial/ No luck.
I also manually went through the Windows and system32 folders and removed a few programs after looking them up on a few different sites. One was a program designed to convert anything to a pdf, so I guessed that that had something to do with the behavior of the malware, and another one called twunk_32 or something like that. I doubt this information really matters, but I'm trying to be thorough.
