    I haven't heard of a virus like this before. I got some weird malware that won't let me open any programs. It also throws up pop-up adds every few seconds on firefox. The only programs I am able to open are: firefox, IE, MS Word, CCleaner, and regedit. Some examples of programs I CANT open (random) are MGtools, MS Hearts, msconfig, My Computer > properties, or any of my anti-spyware programs. I can access files on my hard disk and I can access control panel, but I can't open any of the programs in control panel. I double click on a program, and nothing happens. I have tried to go into safe mode and the same thing happens. Also, I took the advice of disabling system restore so I can't restore my computer. How am I supposed to fix my computer If i am unable to run any anti-spyware programs? Any help is greatly appreciated.
