    #21653673 - 05/08/15 02:53 PM (9 years, 12 days ago)

So i downloaded some n64 games witch put adware in my computer and after running a scan and deleting some things, i get error 'windows cant open this file. file explorer.exe'. I cant open the command prompt cause thats a .exe too. Apparently i cant really do much.  I really  dont wanna reformat my computer.. too much hassole.  Any idea what i did and what i can do to fix it?

You could always try rebooting in Safe Mode and running something like MalwareBytes or another anti-virus. Pretty sure you won't beable to run anything right now due to most applications opening via .Exe

I fixed it. Downloaded a zip file to replace the exe function in the registry. It was a registry issue. seems to be working now. Guessing thats what the adware attacked
