My files won't open up.?
To start off, my computer's acting up. You see, whenever I click on an icon, it ask me to "Open with." So, I click on the Internet Explorer icon, and it ask "Open with" and the option below it, strangely enough, IS the Internet Explorer.
I then click on the IE option. The screen for the Internet opens up, but then a bunch of random tabs appear. One says, "Open With," and gives me the only option I can use. Another says, "View Downloads." The other says, "Internet has stopped working," and asks me to check for a soluition, (which doesn't work) or close the program. So, I just exit out of all the tabs and continue to use the Internet. But then, it says "website error." So, I just ignore it and go on Internet.
What I don't understand is, when I try to open up Google Chrome, or Computer, or CleanUp from my Desktop or Toolbar it asks for the open with IE thing. And when I do, it won't open. It'll just take me to the Internet. When I try to open up Microsoft Word, it says "Application Not Found."
None of my games are opening, none of my applications are working. Only my music works and that's basically it. Any advice? I know this was alot to read, so thanks in advance.

Your computer has been infected with a deadly virus. I guess you don't have any anti virus installed, looking at the amount of damage. Here's what you do:
Download any antivirus, I reccomend avg or Avira: they're free
Load the computer into safe mode. ( Press f8 before the loading windows sign appears. Press repeatedly until the selection list appears. Select safe mode. It will take some time to boot up.
Run the antivirus scan. Hopefully, the viruses will be removed.
If all else fails, format drive C and reinstall windows. But thoroughly scan your computer after reinstall

each record is created in accordance to a undeniable customary. in case you may rename a textual content record (TXT) right into a picture record (JPG), it does no longer make the textual content record a picture, as a results of fact the format of the record won't exchange. categories of data require diverse utility to create, open and edit. as an occasion you could no longer open a be conscious checklist making use of Paint and you could no longer edit a photo making use of Excel. each and each variety of record is created to stick to the set customary. A record which finally leads to checklist yet which does no longer comply to the checklist customary, isn't a checklist record.
