Restart the computer in Safe Mode (press F8 as the Win98 logo appears).  If you have the Norton AV CD, install the program.  Restart in computer.  Update the AV program.  Restart in Safe Mode again.  Run the AV program.\n\nIf you don't have Norton AV CD, download the free AVG program from Grisoft and follow the instructions above.

About the best you can do is create a an href to the EXE. There is security in the browser that will stop the file from immediately launching. It prompts the user "do you want to trun this file or save it?" \n\nThere is no way around it!! It is the technology that protects users (including us) from malicious code.\n\nExample:\n\n<a href="C:&#92;Program.exe">Run it</a>\n\nMore than likely your EXE will reside on a shared directory if this is an intanet app. If so, you'll need to use a UNC style path iin the href\n\ngood luck!

search on your PC right now for a file called MRT.exe. \n\nSTART > SEARCH\n\nThat's the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. It sucks but it is a start. When you find it, run it.\n\nReboot in Safe mode after that with networking enabled (hit F8 right after you start booting a couple of times and pick it)\n\nThen try Internet Explorer\n\nGo to www.filehippo.com\n\nGet \n\nAVG\nAdAware\nSpyBot\n\nAll are free\n\nInstall all three, run all three

Download AVG antivirus and run a full scan. free.grisoft.com\n\nAlternatively, you can type "msconfig" in the run command (start menu) and see what files are running at startup. Uncheck that executable file and restart your computer.

The first thing I would do is a virus scan to get ride off the virus if you have one.\n\nWhatever you do, do not manually delete the restore files as it won't change anything to the system.\nWindows has to do the restoring for anything to take effect.\n\nYou could also try to re-boot in safe mode and see if it will then restore your files.\n\nIt is also possible that it won't restore because you deleted a program manually and Windows cannot find the files to restore.

Try my advice from a previous post....\n\nDepending on the severity/quantity of viruses, you may want to look into:\n\n1) If you have an anti-virus program, run a full scan on your system. Look for McAffee or Norton antivirus tools in "programs" for starters.\n\n2) If you have no antivirus program installed, try AVG free addition. It is easy to install and you'll receive regular updates to counter new virus attacks. You can also use tools to run full scans on your system. You can download it at: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl\n\nOr, try the following link:\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\n3) If a PC is plagued with viruses, your best bet is to clean the system BEFORE it boots. This can be done by using some free tools available. Check out:\n\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/intro/\n\nYou use PE Builder to make a bootable CDROM that loads a windows-like interface in memory. Because none of your hard drive files are locked they can be cleaned of any viruses. BartPE provides free McAffee plugins that you can run to accomplish this. WARNING: you have to fairly computer savy to work with BartPE. You may want to recruit a friend to help. It's more work, but I've found this to be the most effective way to clean your system.\n\nHTH,\nD
