I was on the internet when a screen popped up named something like Windows Anti-Virus 2012". I have seen this before and tried to get off the internet immediately. That didn't work so I hard booted to get out. Too late. I ran Malwarebytes and found 4 trogans which I deleted. Now none of my applications will work. I get a screen that says either "application can't be found" or "choose a program you want to use to open this file". Since any application that I can think of to fix this is a .exe file I can't do anything. I am sending this message on my laptop computer. The afflicted computer is an HP desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have looked at other threads similar to my problem and tried to follow the instructions for fixes but no luck.

Hello and welcome to Geekstogo!

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help.
If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know. If not please perform the following steps below.

Please download and run this file: http://download.blee.../reg/FixNCR.reg

Download OTL to your Desktop
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Check the box that says Scan All Users.
  • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
