Looks like I'm in deep doo-doo (Virus)

[Melena]

There's a small program called smitfraudfix that does a good job of cleaning out those scam anti virus fuckers. May want to try that in conjunction with malwarebytes, etc..

Microsoft Security Essentials is pretty good as free AV goes.

the virus that disguises itself as a windows AV program is a bitch and a half to get rid of, ive had to get rid of it on a couple friends computers and the easiest way ive found is to wipe and start from scratch, basically the virus attatches itself to EVERY FUCKING .EXE on your computer, so you may "think" youve gotten rid of it until you open an .exe and BAM, welcome back mister annoying ass virus

basically save yourself time and frustration, wipe and start over

Just a couple prevention tips.
I got a bad virus from a Age of Empires 2 crack once. Cracks are no joke, watch your back on those things.
Other virus I've got was from a fake Entourage episode. If a video is .wmv in a torrent, stay as far away as you can too.

I've had the .exe problem your talking about before. After cleaning the virus with rkill and Malwarebytes .exe files were not recognized properly. I downloaded a program (forgot the name, its just a small script that will correct it) and I haven't had any issues with that machine since.

It isn't a program that fixes the .exe problem but a .reg file you merge to fix the file associations.

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe\shell\open\command]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\secfile\shell\open\command]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\shell\open\command]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile]

Is all that is in the .reg file.
