ok iam not sure what happened and iam know nothing almost about fixing comps so laymans terms please.
i must of had some addware on my comp i kept getting a pop up for some error guard program it sort of looked like a microsoft product so i kept closing it. i whent on to C.net and down loaded a copy of registry mechanic. it did a quick scan and said i had something like 300 various problems i clicked the fix/clean button and it said this is just trial version go buy product but that 150 problems were corrected by trial version. i then down loaded spy bot search and destroy free version and let it run its magic but when i came in i had error on the screen.
I didnt reallly look to see what it said and closed it,so when i whent to play sims2 it pop-up error "this file does not have a program associated with it for preforming this action. Creat an association in the folder Options control panel.
so i go to do this and i get anther pop up with C:\WINNT\Explorer.EXE
and the error says same this no program association.
Basically every thing i click on shows simillar messages. i restarted comp to see if it wound fix and i hit Ctrl+Alt+del to pull up task manager i see the memory usage but the line for CPU has 00 after every application like nothing is running?
well some how imy internet is running but nothing else. can you guys help me figure out what happened and better yet how can i fix it?
Thank you.
