Hello everyone,
Upon downloading a file online today from a place I thought was safe, I ended up with a popup window asking me to install something with the .exe. I of course clicked no. AVG then detected a virus with an exe extension that I removed.
Once I was done, I tried loading firefox from my toolbar and I was asked to open it with a list of programs. Similar to when you try and open a file and want to open it with say word or notepad, except this window is not the windows one. It's bigger.
I tried another file and got the same Open with window.
Everything I tried to open, I get this window. I cannot load anything.
Here's what I tried.
-Restore point. Doesn't work, I'm asked to open with.
-HJT, Mbam, AVG. Doesn't work. I'm asked to open with.
-Can't run MBAM from a CD, deny work. Open with window is what appears.
-Safe mode doesn't work. Same thing. Open with is what's popping up.
In the list of things I can use (just giving an example) is Paint. I loaded paint on my laptop, and I'm still getting an open as option.
Open paint with paint?
I'm not gonna click anything on that open with window.
