    Windows Media Center - HELP!!!!!!


    Hi,

    I have windows 7 running on a new PB laptop and all of a sudden WMC starts up whenever the computer is started. I tried to run msconfig to disable it at startup but it just runs WMC. Also, every .exe now opens in WMC,there's no 'open with' on the right click menus either.

    I tried to run CMD, but this also opens WMC.

    I really can't do anything to fix this. I tried to disable WMC from control panel but it's not listed. A lot of the options in Control Panel once clicked just open WMC,it's so frustrating!!

    I need to run Malwarebytes to check for anything dodgy, but again it just opens WMC.

    Someone must be able to help, please

    Cheers

    Go to search type default programs. In default programs set it up correctly. If you need help just post.

    Go to each program shown and click on for that to open all programs set by default

    Use system resore to go back to the good old days.

    It sounds like malware.

    If you cannot get malwarebytes to work try this online scan.
