Post Malware Removal Problem

ianmac · Apr 15, 2010

ok.
I got the XP Defender Pro malware on my computer. I was able to get it off thanks to your "READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide" (Which is awesome by the way), but I've hit a snag.

I ran SUPERAntiSpyware but after the reboot, I get this problem. When ever I try and open a program or anything for that matter the "Open With" window pops up. I have to then manually find the program I want to open and then open it. That wouldn't be so bad but some programs just won't open i.e. any of the antimalware programs you recommend, Windows firewall, anything in the Control Panel. I can't get the logs for SAS because I can't open it and I can't get any type of fire wall up. Also, I tried to rename the SAS install file to reinstall it but I just keep getting redirected to the "Open With" window.

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Click to expand...

For vista:

C:\Users\insert your user account name\AppData\Roaming\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\Logs

Then try to continue on with other steps in the R&R and attach the requested logs.
