So my computer got a virus of sorts so i used antivirus software and now there arent any popups or annoying things like that, but if I try to run a .exe file, a dialog opens asking "Choose the program you want to use to open this file". Most of the exe's work if i right click them and press "Run as Administrator". Online searching for a solution it told me to do stuff with the registry so i opened regedit and i got an error saying "Application not found" so i tried running it as administrator and i got a different error saying "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator" pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up a menu with task manager absent, and right clicking the desktop the option of task manager is grayed out. multiple ways i found of fixing this require use of the registry, which i cannot edit. I have run out of ideas of how to fix this and im tempted to just reset my computer.
