Hello Alejandroteen, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Downloading and merging the EXE option in the tutorial below may be able to help. It will restore the default association for .exe files.

To be safe, I would also recommend that you do a full scan of your system with Malwarbytes free to see if it finds any malware or viruses on your system.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks for your help, I LNK & Folder (REG) but none of them worked. Should I pick another .reg?

Next step is the antimalware.

Thanks a lot !

Did you download and merge the listed one for exe?

When did you first notice this problem? You may want to consider using system restore to a time before you had the problem.

If necessary, you may need to run this from a command prompt to fix system files.

sfc /scannow

Yes I did. And it is not working, the malware is running and until now it detected 2 objects.

I notice it 2 days ago. And yesterday I wanted to open the Donwload folder and it wont open.

You may just need to remove the bad Downloads link under Favorites in the Navigation Pane, and restore the default "Downloads" link to restore a hopefully working one back.

BRINK, It didnt work at all.

Did you remove the detected items found by Malwarebytes?

Are you getting this error when trying to open any other file, folder, or shortcut?

You might also try what Hunter posted above as well for now to see if that may help.

 

[alejandroteen]

The CMD search didnt find anything on there.

 

[alejandroteen]

Neither the "Favorites - Restore Default Favorite Links in Navigation Panel"

I guess I going to keep trying... otherwise I will do the restore.

How about the system restore using a restore point dated before this happened?

 

[alejandroteen]

I eliminated the Objects that malware detected. But the message still there, it is just that folder.

Delete the downloaded program, then empty the recycle bin.

 

[alejandroteen]

I did already and still the problem.

Alejandroteen,

I just had a thought. Did you change the location of your C:\Users\(user-name)\Downloads folder location? Do OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to restore the default location of your Downloads folder to see if that may help.

Brink!

I just worked like charm!

Thank you very much my friend. You guys rocked it !

I really appreciate everybody's help in this forum.

Have a good one guys!

But there's one problem... I lost some of my downloads... Which are not that important at all.

You're most welcome Alejandroteen. You might check to see if you may still have another Downloads folder at wherever you moved it to by mistake to see if your downloads may still be in it.
