If you have stumbled across this editorial, chances are you have or had a virus, & it damaged various your windows files. Various the most common damaged files are your .exe files & their associations. That means that various your typical icons for launching programs don't work, & pop up a box asking you what program to select to run the program you are trying to run. There is a fast fix for that.
What is happened is the virus has damaged your "exe file association" & you need to run a registry file fix to repair it. The quickest & most effective way to get that done is to Google “exe file association registry fix,” & tries to find actual.reg files on the landing pages that you can use to repair your exe issues. Time you download & run the files for the fix, it will probably ask you in case you need to "import in to registry," to which you will say "yes." That fixes that issue.
Further, start menu programs & files can suddenly go missing after having a bad virus. It normally tricks people in to thinking their files are gone, & they finish up reformatting the computer accepting their loss. But wait! The files are probably still there, hidden. Google around & look for "unhide.exe" which is a file that will go through & try to restore paths to your programs & files.
The best knowledge on the net on how to fix broken windows files from viruses can be found on a forum called "bleeping computer." Going there, you can find most if not all of the programs & fixes for both removing viruses from your machine, & repairing damaged windows files as well.
Your best defense? Being "click conscious." It is the bottom line. Not even Kaspersky (a widely known, well trusted & effective antivirus program) will catch everything. With the emergence of rootkits & other deeply embedding malicious programs, your best defense is to understand what a red flag is & what is not.
Nothing that asks you in the event you need it to "scan your computer" is safe on the World Wide Web. That is not your antivirus asking you that is an online site about to put in malware on your system.
When people send you emails, even if it looks like it is a traditional electronic mail from your mate, second guess it. Look carefully. Do they normally send you emails like this? Does the electronic mail have some link in it? You are better off emailing the person first, to make positive they sent it, before you open it up & infect your computer.
Now, with the rising popularity of social media, people's Facebook & Twitter profiles are being compromised & sending out messages like "someone is posting a picture of you, here is a link to it." Those are fake. Do not click on the links but, always ask the who sent it if it was them. 9 times out of0, it wasn't, & the landing pages to those links are sites filled with malware. It is a trap!
Ultimately, with the right tools, & the knowledge of where to get them, you can repair windows files back to their original state after viruses assault your computer. Hope this has been helpful & keep in mind, your best defense, not your antivirus.
