My son has a Toshiba Satellite L305 laptop running Windows Vista. I don't know what he did but the system does not recognize .exe files, therefore no application works and I can't even reinstall Windows. I'm assuming he has a virus but cannot prove it since AVG won't run. I also tried to install Ubuntu, but the computer will not recognize the .exe file to open infra recorder.

If anyone has any suggestions on how I can fix this problem I would appreciate it.

Yes, that did it! I can now run everything. I'm now doing a system restore from a couple of days ago just to make sure. Then I will run AVG and Ad-aware.

If this is a virus I don't understand why my AVG didn't pick it up. It updates and runs everyday automatically. I'm still thinking of installing Ubuntu though. My son says he doesn't mind and it's supposed to be tons better than Vista.

We use AVG at work but we also use McAfee and Kaspersky as well as Malware-bytes. It seems like AVG misses quite a few that the others catch.

Really? Hmm. I'll have to look into doing that for my desktop (running XP). I thought AVG was the best one out there. I may say the hell with it though and just put Ubuntu on it like I am my son's laptop.
