I was able to remove the "XP Security virus 2012" and then downloaded Jetclean and now whenever I try to open an application I get the message to "create an association in the folder options control panel"-- any ideas?

Welcome to MG's. You can post in the malware forum in case you are still infected or post in the software forum if you know you are clean.

The virus seems to be cured--I have run Malwarebytes...

That's not a guarantee that it is totally gone. There still could be left overs.

Any suggestions?

Go to the malware forum and do the:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

When you have the requested logs, start a thread there and attach the logs.

I have been through all of the steps again--downloaded suggested programs( Malwarebytes, Combofix, and SAS). No problem downloading just can't get them to run because I still keep getting that the "files does not have an associated program. Craete an association in the folder options control panel." message....

What OS are you running? And are you saying you can't run any exe files?
