I can't use any programs on my computer?

I recently got rid of a virus, but now it asks what program to use to open a file no matter what I use. Biggest problem, is my folders. How do I fix this? I can't even look at My Documents with out it asking?

    It kinda sounds like you might still have a virus on there; or it might be that things related to file extensions in the registry were deleted. Try googling "can't open .exe files" and do what it says

    Hire a professional. No matter what anyone else suggests do NOT screw around with anything. My computer has gotten infected by a virus/stalled for no reason about 6 times. Every time I tried to fix it (or any time I try to fix anything on my computer) I end up totally crashing it and it goes to the black screen of death no matter HOW long I have spent researching it or asking people what to do. So for the love of God please pay someone with years of experience and knows what they are doing to do this. Or else you will regret it.

    Happy Holiday Wishes!
