Deleted Explorer.exe, can't get it back, HELP, please!
Ok, so I was using Avira Antivirus and it found a virus.
It asked me to restart my computer in order to get rid of the virus in explorer.exe. It restarted and completely got rid of explorer.exe.
It deleted explorer.exe, not like it is in the recycling bin, like it is gone.
I have been told there are many of these "explorer.exe" files in the computer. At first, I couldn't even see a desktop.
The whole screen was black.
I did a System Restore and now I can see my desktop and everything works fine including the Internet, but files won't open, neither will my computer or control panel or recycling bin. I just get this message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
My audio doesn't work at all either.
I have googled the problem, but I only find solutions for windows xp and I have windows 7.
Does anyone know how to restore explorer.exe for windows 7?
I saw a similar thread but it said to go to command prompt and type in cd/cdWindowsdri. I tried that and all it said was that it couldn't find whatever it needed to. I also tried scf scannow (I think that was the name) and it didn't help either. HELP PLEASE?
