hi All,
Hope somebody can help me....everytime i try to open my c drive i receive the error:
"the file does not have a program associated with it to perform this action, create an associate in the folder options control panel"

this used to work before so really not sure what is after happening. Ran a scan recently & removed some viruses, this has popped up ever since

Would really appreciate some guidance
Thank you!Welcome aboard

i try to open my c drive

What Windows version?There is a new virus that I am researching that does this as well (new in english anyway), and I've helped a few people fix it. Tell me, do you have the FOLLOWING processes running? (check in task manager)

Any of:
quqnrtl.exe
ehjalrp.exe
Ibvtcgv
Rqgghnk

Also seen with:
winadr.exe
sourro.exe
intent.exe
winlogor.exe
winrar.exe
diskman32.exe

For now, until we get this sorted out, just RIGHT click C drive and click explore. That should do the trick for the moment. But tell me if you've got any of those processes running, especially any of the first 4.
