Recovering .exe files? how?

Well, after having some serious malware on the computer and running certain scans... it seems that many of my .exe files were corruped and have been deleted.
The remaining files needed for running programs are still here... however, certain programs like Photoshop, I cant seem to find the .exe files online for them.

Certain programs I cant reinstall but only need the .exe file to start up, any suggestions?
Anyone have photoshop.exe (7.0 if that makes any difference)?

What can I do to get these .exe files? I cant reinstall them cause I dont have all the applications and CD keys handy... I can try downloading them manually but Im having a hard time finding certain files.

Ideas?

Uh... Bit of an "obvious" question here, I guess: If you "dont have all the applications and CD keys handy" why not contact the developer or online site where you bought the software from and ask for the product key?

Also, it would be helpful to know the exact name of the programs or online scans which supposedly deleted your .exe files. The reason that I ask you this is because the overwhelming and vast majority of AV programs and free online anti-virus and malware scans do not in any way affect the deletion or disabling of "legitimate" .exe program files when a user is "running certain scans." If they did; these company's would go out of business in short order!

No offence intended here; but are these "legitimate" programs or are they "cracks" (i.e. warez, pirated, etc)?

Because many of these scanners will very often; almost always, in fact, either automatically or offer the user doing the scan the opportunity to disable, "heal" or even delete pirated or WAREZ types of .exe so-called "add-ons" or "cracked" .exe files (which are added by software pirates; after the initial installation process) because many crackers add viruses, malware and all sorts of other "goodies" to the "add-ons" when they crack these programs and utilities.

If the .exe's affected by your "running certain scans" after a malware attack or virus are indeed "legitimate" programs are then you can and should contact the developers who will be more than happy to provide the legitimate product keys even if you do not "have all the applications and CD keys handy."

Good Luck!

heres a link to my thread requesting malware help which is how I lost most of my .exe files: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=99996

Like I mentioned before, literally every programs .exe was deleted. Even free software such as MSN and FireFox were reinstalled. yes, I can go through the trouble of dealing with each and every products personal customer help employees, but I thought there would be a much easier way to obtain these simple .exe files.
