Virus aftermath

Lurkio

Hi,

Not strictly MSE, but if it saves me buying a new computer......

I am fairly technically competent, but have recently had a speight of viruses, the latest of which has rendered all of my shortcuts etc fairly useless. I'm thinking it has updated something in the registry to disassociate .exe files or somesuch, but thought I would ask on here to see if anyone could guide me

On the Admin login, all 'seems' ok. When I log in under my name, anything I click gives me 'select the program you wish to use to open this file', even double clicking things like Internet Explorer

If I go in to control panel, I get 'unable to locate run32dll', which I know is there

I know strictly speaking this would belong on a more technical forum, but I'm not a member of any others.....

If anyone can give me a quick fix (rather than reinstalling windows), I would be eternally grateful

PC is a self build, running Windows XP

I have run a scan using Iolo system shield and it has come up with nothing. I isolated and removed the virus earlier (pmc.exe)

I'd still do the malwarebytes scan

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [620735079] C:\Documents and Settings\Jeremy\Local Settings\Application Data\pmc.exe

system is a little bloated, is it slow?

Slow? Not obviously so. Anything you suggest?
