Executable Files are Misconfigured

Virus and Malicious software tend to change the settings so that anti-virus software can't be installed once you're infected. ( ie. Security Tool ) copy and paste the string below to a notepad and save it as a *.reg file This will at least enable *.exe file to run and allow you to install or scan for viruses. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*" [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe\shell\open\command] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\secfile\shell\open\command] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\shell\open\command] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe] @="exefile" "Content Type"="application/x-msdownload" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile]
