    I got hit with th W32/SirCam@MM Virus. i believe that I have it removed except now I cannot open any .exe programs. I believe that this .exe has been lost from my registry. The error meesiage I get when attempting to open a program is: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel ".

    Moderator note: Curt uses Windows 2000.

    Thanks

    Go here and dowlnoad the virus removal tool for the flavor of virus you got.

    A temporary fix would be to rename the *.exe file to *.com but you definately want to run the removal tool to fix everything
