Hello... I've been reading other peoples post regarding this same issue however I'm "green" when it comes to this stuff and I'm not sure of what to do. My problem is when I try to open a zip file it trys to open in IE (which I'm not sure why) and it starts opening several windows and takes over my desk top, the only way I can make it stop is going into my task manager and log off. I don't know what to do next. Please help

Download 7-Zip 4.65 (2009-02-03) for Windows: from http://www.7-zip.org/
You will have to choose either the 32 bit or the 64 bit version from the table.
If you don't know which you have then:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218

Save it and install it. It should fix the file association so that zip files don't use IE.

If you still have problems then:

Do as much of

as you can. If a step won't work, skip to the next one. Copy and paste your gmer, mbam, otl, & extras logs into a reply. Do not attach them.

If you lose internet access after running MBAM or if you are not able to get to the downloads:

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings, then uncheck all boxes and OK. Close IE and restart IE.

In FireFox, Tools, Options, Advanced, Settings, check No Proxy then OK. Close Firefox and restart Firefox.

In Chrome, Wrench, Options, Under the Hood, Change Proxy Settings, uncheck all boxes, OK.
