| 434774 | 2006-03-01 07:02:00 | Eldest boys laptop got a trojan dialer last night, which I promptly removed with AVG. Virus is gone now but it has left some footprints..... When double clicking on desktop icons, get a prompt to select which program to open the icon with. Same happens to programs in start menu. The programs work if I navigate to their respective files in C:drive and start application from there. So thought I would do a system restore to get things back to normal, but even system restore from All Programs>accessories>system tools>system restore dosent work. When I right click "My computer", then properties, I get an errror message as such... Control Panel C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe Cannot find application. Can anyone offer some assistance or guidance? PS. His is a 6 mth old Toshiba M40. |
