Windows 7 Win7 cannot open programs

[Grorbabrag]

Hi, my first pos, although a sad one...

My HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook has stopped working.

Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
System Board ID: 3036
Processor Type: AMD Turion x2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75
Processor Speed: 2200 MHz
Total Memory: 4096 MB
Bios Version: F. 17

Problem:
About 2 days ago, I caught myself a trojan downloader (sshnas.dll) ... I removed it through Windows Defender, on the next start-up, i got the error sshnas.dll can not be found. After that my PC worked fine except the start-up message, then after a trip in the airplane (idk, if this caused it), it took longer for the OS to start and when I had logged on, Windows Explorer kept hanging, I lett it stay for a while and Windows worked fine, i could operate the Task Bar and everything, but when I tried to start Warhammer Online it would not start. I tried other programs as well and none would start. Up on opening the control pannel, the computer restarted for no reason and I got the error Bios not found. I restarted it manually and the BIOS worked fine again. In safemode i can start the programs and everything.

Please, help me as fast as possible.

*EDIT* It could be that my Atheros AR9285 WiFi Adapter is causing the problems, when I start my PC in "SafeMode with Networking" I expierince these problems, my problem then would be, how do I update my driver when I cannot install it in Normal mode and Windows Installer is not avalible in safemode.

I have a fix. I downloaded exe_xp.com from Link Removed - Invalid URL and run it on the XP machine. I usually do this after I've run unhackme or other rootkit removal software. The exe_xp.com file will reassociate exe files in the registry. This solution has been available since 2004, but I've found it on a lot of the PCs I service lately.

I don't use Nortan Antivirus or Mcafee or any other paid virus protection because the infected computers I see have these programs and I have lost confidence in them.

My son isn't regretting the move to Windows 7. He loves it.

Excellent,

Glad to here you got it and posted the file also.

This will help others with the same problem (and it has come up before.)
