Im a new member and am not sure how this works, but I'll just type my issue and see what happens.
My computer had a virus or something that would redirect every URL I typed in to "XP Anti-Spyware and Malware Software" applications. Pop-ups also began, advising me to update my anti-virus software as well. A friend of mine's brother went through and "fixed" the problem, but now every time I try to open any of my browsers, an "Open With" prompt comes up. The only recommended program is Internet explorer and when I choose it, a browser window pops up for a couple seconds and Im kicked out to a "File Download - Security Warning" prompt that asks to save, run or cancel the file "iexplorer.exe". Did the kid that helped with the virus uninstall something I need to access my browsers? If so, what can I do to get my browsers to function properly again.?
