Nothing works or pops up. Except internet explorer.
« on: February 27, 2008, 02:24:00 PM »
My laptop is a Windows XP, and for about a month or even longer, there is some kind of virus on here, that I do not know what it is.  My applications on the desktop, like songs, this powerpoint I made, a few other programs, all turned to one type of icon, and when I try to open it, it says to search for the file via internet, which then the internet says it is an uknown file.  But I am still able to open, internet explorer, microsoft outlook, but everything else says that.  Also on the control panel, when I try to do the volume, or add/remove programs it won't come up AT ALL.  And I need to update my computer, and take files off that aren't needed anymore. 
Anyways, if you could please please help me, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
