I think I have some sort of virus, most likely because I was recently connected to the university LAN. Anyway, no matter what I try to open (Messenger, AdAware, WMP, even things like Add/Remove programs), I get an error message saying:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options contol panel"
Now I've been to the Folder Options control panel, and all file types already have their correct association (.exe isn't in there, but there is no standard program for openeing .exe, as they are self-executable).
The problem is, I can't download a virus checker or run Spybot/adAware because they won't open. For some reason, the only things that work (that I've tried) are Firefox, and my music in winamp.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is horrible...
*edit* I'm running XP Pro.
