I can turn it on and it go to windows xp OS. But nothing from there can be clicked on besides the "Start" button. I can't do a system restore or anything without it comming up with a message saying "cannot find .exe file that is associated with that". I even tried going into the "Run" section and use commands there but even then it says the same exact thing. It started out when I noticed a "redirecting virus". I have "Malware Bytes" and "CCleaner" that I have installed and run but even those execution files have been affected it seems. I don't know what to do with it. I don't know if it matters but it's a VAIO laptop running windows xp, home ed. I think. Any input would help, thank you for your time.

Nothing what so ever can run. No Internet browser even works. Everything and anything I click on comes up with the same message of not being able to find the file associated with that file name, etc... So I won't be able to download anything to my desktop. If your wondering how I can het on here and post, it's because oft iPhone. Thank you again for your time.
