Hi,

After pressing on all .exe files whether it is a desktop shortcut or the application file I get a balank internet page which then sisappears and sthen shows this message;

Do you want to run or save this file?
Name;____.exe
Type;_______
From;_______

Run Save Cancel

If I press "Run" the message re appears.

I have tried to run anti-virus programs but they are all .exe files and the system restore will not work because I need to give permission for it to run. I do not have Hijackthis installed so I can not give a log.

Does anyone know any solutions?

Thanks a lot
Dan

I forgot to add. I ckecked processes in Task manager and I have 11 Processes running on my user. I think it is a virus problem. Has anyone ever had the same problem?

Thanks a lot

Boot into safe mode. It seems to be a virus. You may be able to run a scan then

I have tried to run Avast Antivirus on safe mode but I still get the same message.

Are there any other ways of running virus programs which will work with my problem?

Thanks a lot
Dan
