    Hi! Thankies for clicking!

    Okay well i recently have been attacked by a virus (cleaned it up w/ smitfraud) but now i have 2 major problems, if anyone can help i give you 100000 hugs!!!

    Okay so like the subject is, i can only open Internet Explorer or Safari. I CANNOT open Opera or Firefox! Those are my main browsers, and i just downloaded Safari to see if that worked and it has, but i want my Firefox back!

    SECOND problem, i cannot open .exe files!!! I used a computer at my sister's house to export .exe registry files onto a flash drive and things like that, i deleted the reg. on my laptop, and imported those ones. It hasn't worked Major help please!!

    Also, randomly i was unable to open "Notepad" and "Internet Explorer" I have found it was on the list of Data Execution Prevention files (Control Panel>System>Performance Options) however Firefox was not on it, but nevertheless i did remove them from the list, and now they randomly pop up on it again and i'm continuously having to remove them when i start up my laptop and stuff.

    Once again, .exe files don't work, so i cant download Hijack this or Malware Bytes, but however i to have Smitfraud and Superantivirus installed, and for some reason both do work, but ive deleted all threats found on Super anti virus, hasn't help.

    XOXOXOXOOXXOOOXXOXO

    Welcome to WindowsBBS UnicornPrincess :)

    First, your warning .... I might be inclined to hold you to that promise of 100000 hugs :D lol

    Download Deckard's System Scanner (dss.exe) and save it to your desktop.
    • Close all applications and windows.
    • Double click on dss.exe to run it and follow the prompts.
    • When the scan is complete, two text files will open; main.txt, which will be maximized and extra.txt, which will be minimized.
    Post the contents of main.txt only for now.


    If you have HijackThis, it will use it to create a HijackThis log. If you do not, it will automatically download and install HijackThis. Please keep your internet connection active and allow access through your firewall if applicable.

    It should work, despite exes not working for you, but if not, just let me know and we'll do something else.
