    You might try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:

    start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore


    Also note that this is probably Malware or a Virus. Run your scans.

    In order to start System Restore from the Task Manager or at a Run... or Command Prompt type:

    %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

    You most likely have a virus/worm.

    I will post the basic HijackThis instructions after this post but I assume you will have the same issues there.

    Anyway perhaps those guys in the Security section will have some ideas for you to run the necessary tools.

    You could try the EXE file association fix here:

    Please read THIS and after completing the steps outlined post a HijackThis log over in that section along with a brief description of your problem.

    Do not post HijackThis logs in this section please.

    I would still post a HijackThis log over in that section.

    That is a symptom of a Virus/Worm.
