   Hello, I don't believe I have a virus, but my XP cannot open .exe files. It wants to associate any file I click on with a program. I cannot open regedit, explorer, system restore, and I even tried putting in my windows cd to see if I can repair a driver that might be corrupted and that doesn't seem work. I'm a lost. Any ideas?

   Scroll down to the exe fix.
   
   You may very well have malware, in which case you need to do the:
