Application cannot be executed!

[Jorian_P]

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum but I am not new to a computer.  Lately, for about a week and a few days, my computer has been acting up.  First, I was receiving random pop ups that included silly things such as this:

looking for pizza
looking for pizza

found looking for pizza
found looking for pizza

looking for pizza!

So I told a friend of mine who is pretty smart when it comes to computers and she told me to download Malware Bytes thing that eventually caused those pop ups to stop, but now, lately, I've been getting these Window Security Alerts saying how my computer is infected, and every time I try to open something that has anything to do with the computer such as paint, notepad, or Microsoft Document, it'll say something like "Application cannot be executed.  The file wermgr.exe is infected.  I need help immediately.  Please respond as quickly as possible!

And I had trouble following the steps so I PM'ed quantos and no response.

Do not use PM's for forum issues. Post all questions here in the thread. One of CH's malware experts (neither Quantos nor I) will respond.

  Well you guys make this a lot more complicated than this needs to be, but anyways, I'm stuck on step number two because once I'm done downloading the CCleaner thing, it doesn't do anything probably because I am on Mozilla Firefox.  If I try to use Internet Explorer it'll just say "Application cannot be executed."  .

5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

Sorry for being so late in getting to your post. If you still need help, please try this

Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.
Save Rkill to your desktop.

There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
 
Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator
 

You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

Rkill.exe
Rkill.com
Rkill.scr
Rkill.pif

Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.
 
Now download and Run exeHelper.

Please download exeHelper from Raktor to your desktop.

• Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix. A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed. A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com Attach the log.txt file to your next message.
  
  Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).
