    Hi,

    Can someone PLEEEAAASEE help me? I got a virus the other night and then ran my anti-virus shit... Now every time I try to open something that was previously on my computer it says choose a program you want to open this with and application not found! Not sure what I did. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Sounds like whatever you picked up did a lot more damage than just sitting there waiting to be removed by your A/V software. Do you remember what it was, and also what A/V program you used to "fix" it?

    Yeah, something is most likely still there. Run a malwarebytes scan in safe mode and see what you find.
