after a virus(that is gone now thanks to a other topic) a lot of my programs(mostly windows related(cmd nslookup and so on but also winamp and a few others)) have the locked icon on them and i cant start them and i cant seem to find the place where it says that they are supposed to be locked(happened thanks to avg locking all of them) and i was wondering does anyone know of a way to get them unlocked without reinstalling(as its over 100 exe's that are locked) and because i cant access cmd i cant flush my dns so it means that i cant access most of the security related websites and what not

by the way if its a bit hard to read im sorry but English is my 2nd language plus its 3:42am and haven't slept in a day as been trying all kinds of things to get it back to working order

Try to uninstall AVG, using AVG Remover: http://www.avg.com/u.../download-tools
Restart computer.

and because i cant access cmd i cant flush my dns so it means that i cant access most of the security related websites and what not

i have been my self for the last few days
http://www.geekstogo...oj-t231840.html

i had that one before and for as far as most of my virus scans could say my pc was clean(wich i knew it wasnt as most of the stuff dint work) and guess il gonna end up reinstalling(if it ever lets me again(dam setup wont let me) thanks to a new one vitro >.>)

but ya that first topic actually helped get rid of that one for me after i ran a few other tools i found around the net

but its like avast and avg seem to lock down the exe's that get infected and because cmd and nslookup and so are locked i cant do the stuff i want to do to get rid of all of it in total(as any command line based scanned that i want to run in save mode wont start as well)

but ya if anyone has a clue how to unlock the exe's that have become locked(thanks to the dam viruses(and get rid off them again(as the stupid dvd wont let me reinstall win 7 or xp and dont feel like wiping 1.5tb of data dating back to 2006))

So, nothing is actually locking the file.
It looks to me like your system files are messed up.

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista case).
If sfc won't find any errors in Windows XP, it'll simply quit, without any message.
In Vista you will receive the following message: "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".

well its win 7 but cant even start it as its locked together with the rest

but if nothing can be done tonight il use my new pe disk and see if i have anything good on there and if not guess il wipe win 7

It may be actually your best option...
