Solve : .exe Not a Valid Win32 Application!??

Answer»

This is driving me crazy! I have a new dell notebook with Vista installed, everything was going good up until 2 weeks ago. Almost all of my programs I try to run give me the message "... is not a valid Win32 application." These programs used to run fine but I have no idea what I could have did to make programs stop running.

Heres the part that gets me, all programs are able work correctly in safe mode I've tried starting Windows with a diagnostic start up but I still get the same error.

I will post the HiJackThis log next because I have exeeded the limit.Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.0 (BETA)

nobody can help me huh? If you think it is a virus or malware problem, maybe it should go in that section.

The issue would be what happened prior to all of this, what applications, what protection you have, etc. which you did not post.if you are a moderator, could you please move it to that section for me. I dont know what I did prior to this, my only protection is the McAfee Suite that came with the computer.Somebody help me Quote from: GX1_Man on April 09, 2007, 05:35:03 PM

See below. I had Vista Home and Internet Explorer 8. I started getting csc.exe. It said the Publisher was Microsoft.
It popped up on my page every few minutes asking me if I want to Install it. I clicked "No" and clicked the box that said "Don't bother me anymore, or something to that effect. It still kept popping up.
I ran "Malwarebytes", a Free Program. It found 2 Trojans.
I uninstalled IE 8 and went back to IE 7, SP1. I've read forums that SP 2 is still full of problems.
