I have a major problem. All my .exe files are opening in word and I can't seem to fix it. I know that this is a trojan symptom, but i can't even download a scanner to find it, because setup.exe will open in word. Someone please help this is driving me insane.

I have looked through all of the other threads about this and none of them help. I can't download anything to help me fix this. Somebody please help.

Hi,

The following file should run as it has a .com extension,


Please download exeHelper to your desktop.
Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
Post the contents of log.txt (Will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com)
Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

Once this has run your exe programs should be working again.

Please followup with these programs:

• Please save Win32kDiag to your desktop.
• Double-click on it to run a scan.
• When it's finished, there will be a log called Win32kDiag.txt on your desktop.
• Please open it with notepad and post the contents here.
