Windows security alert Application cannot be executed. The file *** is infected.

[jackbenimble]

Hi, I have the same problem another poster had which describes my problem to a tee.

Here is the post:

"I got a serious issue with my system. Somehow some trojan/rogue has affected my system. It keeps flashing me virus alert and whenever i try to run any program it says "Application cannot be executed. The file  **** is infected......." (not even a command prompt or notepad can be opened but with multiple try sometime i get the command prompt but it is ridiculous)."

Please advise - this is really a nasty one.

This sounds like one of these fake antivirus programs.  Can you post a HijackThis Log?

You may not be able to run HJT due to the infection, if you can't, it's probably best if you could post all the process names from the process tab in Task Manager.

Hijack This

Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.
==========================================

P2P - I see you have P2P software installed on your machine. (uTorrent)We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept. However, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections. It is certainly contributing to your current situation.

Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.

I would strongly recommend that you uninstall them, however that choice is up to you. If you choose to remove these programs, you can do so via Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs.
==============================================
