    One thing, use regular human english when asking a question.

    You need to do the following:

    My recommendations on how to remove virii and spyware problems:

    First, go to [http://www.download.com/ ]: download, install and update the following:

    -AVG Free Edition OR Avast! Free Edition antivirus

    -Spyware Terminator (Comes with Real-Time Shield) AND SpywareBlaster AND Ad-Aware (optional)

    -ZoneAlarm Free or Comodo Free Firewall

    [If your computer doesn't already have an anti-virus, multiple anti-spyware programs, and a firewall.

    For heavy-duty jobs:

    [http://www.download.com/ ]

    -SUPERAnti-spyware

    -Malwarebytes' Anti-malware

    Do a reboot into Windows Safe Mode:

    1. Restart Windows.

    2. Right when you hear your computer start up, start tapping F8 repeatedly.

    3. Select "Safe Mode" in the menu that comes up.

    4. Select your user account.

    5. --Done--

    Then, do a FULL SCAN with SUPER and Malwarebytes' and it will do a heavy-duty job.

    Hope this Helps.

    Another thing, *.exe files aren't the problem. Many things are .exe files. Every .exe file isn't a virus.

    insert your OS disc and select repair! Or reninstall windows. If you have a virus scanner you should try that first, if you can. good luck.
