Hey there,
I foolishly agreed to help my boss get some malware off his daughter's laptop, specifically Win 7 Antimalware 2011. I managed to get rid of it using Spyware Doctor but now when I click on any .exe it goes to the "open with" window. If I right click and open as administrator it opens as normal.
I found this: Broken EXE Association
But there is no specific info for Win 7.
I'm guessing a registry entry is missing or messed up but would love more info before I start poking around in there. Thanks in advance.
Just say no, kids.
-Windows 7 Home Premium
-64-bit
-Toshiba Satellite L500-19X
-Pentium Dual-Core T4300 - 2.1GHz
