    thats an installer (to install the program not run it) have you tried running a program directly from your c drive?

    eg c drive/local disk c/program filesx86/then open up a program folder find the launch .exe and try to run it from there?

    Go for the online scan. I do not know what that information means.

    Just trying a differant angle mate , if he can run the programs directly from the launcher in his program folder we can repair all his shortcuts , it may be malware it may not :)

    Hello,

    It seems like a broken association go to this Tutorial Default File Type Associations - Restore and Download ink and exe then try to open a Program and see if that works.

    If that didn't do the trick then

    • Open your Notepad.
    • Copy and Paste this code in the notepad:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download]
    “CheckExeSignatures”=”no”
    “RunInvalidSignatures”=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
    “SaveZoneInformation”=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Associations]
    “LowRiskFileTypes”=”.zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;  .com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi  ;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;”
    • Save it on your desktop as allowall.reg.
    • Click it to merge its content your Windows registry content.
    • Restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    Hope this helps,
    Captain
