Urgent Advice/Help Please Cannot open anything

[martsb]

Hi,i really need some help please.

I was uninstalling some software when

Computer went mad messsages popping up all over from startup defender then when tried to reboot got quick message from svchost with other parts I clicked yes thinking this would let me restart but no, has took me an hour just to get to this point.

 

Wouldnt open in anything then finally came back but i cannot open any software or browser(firefox opened on its own while i tried to uninstall some software.A Windows File Assocition ,window opened) i get this message

"This file does not have aprogram associated with it for performing this action.Create an association in the Folder Options control panel"

everytime i try and open/uninstall any software or program or browser.

 

Ive tried System restore XP which im running but get same message,

did not want to try safe mode in case i cannot get back to this point before taking advice.

Please help thank you

I get the feeling that you were downloading something that you should not have and received an additional present of some nasty malware. What if any antivirus or anti malware are you running.

 

This thread is probably going to have to be moved to the "Malware Infection Removal" to be handled by one of our experts in that field forum but in the meantime try a system restore to a point prior to this latest installation. My guess is that it won't let you but it is worth a try. Even if it does seem to get things back to normal it may still return.

 

Regardless of what happens I suggest that you read the following and follow the directions there; http://extremetechsupport.com/threads/10689-Before-posting-for-Malware-Removal-help.

Thanks BeeCeeBee,yes i just bought a software program and it didnt seem to download properly so i was in the process of uninstalling with revo when it all went mad.To be honest i didnt think it would be that as others have used software and no complaints.

I have Kapersky but i cant get that to run either,will read the thread you recommend

thank you
