CAN ANYBODY PLZ HELP: problem opening any program including internet explorer

i recently got rid of "vista internet security 2010". Took me many scans to wipe it and it seems like i finally cleared it. Now i cant click on anything without it popping up a box saying,
"open with: choose the program you want to use to open this file".
I dont understand what happened but it started doing that right after i used my antivirus and it found the trojan.
can anybody plz help me fix this withouth me having to do a complete system restore?
ill greatly appreciate it.

Angie, please be sure to download and run this free tool.

Which file types (see the "extension" at the end of the file) produce that message?
Which computer? Which Windows?

Inquiry about opening any file with internet explorer

Dear all,
i am opening any file with internet explorer on the client machine.but i want to open it as READ-ONLY. so is there any parameter i should add to the command.
the command i am using is :
client_host('"\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " "'||v_file_name||'"'; );
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I don't think there is a way to open a file as read only using Client_Host. But i can give you another suggestion. Change the permission of the file to readonly (may be using chmod command) before opening the file in the browser.
client_host('chmod -w '||v_file_name);Regards,
Arun

Google Chrome and Firefox won't open any sites. Internet explore can.

Internet Explorer will run any sites. After installing google chrome and firefox its opens the browser but then when i enter a site, any site, it just wont go... It's not giving me an error message... i push the "enter" key and the busy locator, the circle thing that rotates to indicate the page is loading. it just pops for like 1 sec still remains on the main page.

Hello justinmendoza89, check if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet#os=win7&browser=fx16 firewall] or other security software(antivirus, antispyware) prevent firefox access .
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-windows-firewall-allow-firefox-access#os=win7&browser=fx16 Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]
thank you

Firefox 3.6.8 is not opening any website, while internet explorer is browing the internet normaly.

Firefox is not opeing any website at all. The internet connection is running smooth. IE is browsing the internet normaly. Skype and messenger is also running without any issues but fire fox won't browse the internet at all. It always displays the following message when ever i try to open any website.
"'' The connection has timed out
The server at en-us.start3.mozilla.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

I start my macbook pro april 2011 everything goes normal and then the desktop displays as usual but i can't select anything, or open any program, or document and even i can't shutdown the macbook or do nothing. Help me please! What is going on?

Help! I've restarted my macbook like ten times and it seems not working anymore!

Reboot and hold down the command-r keys into the Lion Recovery Disk. Select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk.

Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some updates for my imac. Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box. The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

Erin I am sorry you are facing difficulty downloading the Creative Cloud software. It can be frustrating when you do not have access to high speed stable Internet.
You can attempt to download the base installers and updates by following the directions listed at:
Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools
You may want to attempt to utilize some form of download management as the main issue seems to be the stability of your connection.
There is not currently a method to resume downloads within the Creative Cloud Desktop application. There is download management included though it may not be enough to compensate for the current Internet connection. If you are curious you can find additional details on how to resolve download errors at Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

My MacBook get's hot really quick and then discharge's quickly without opening any program, please help.

My MacBook get's hot really quick and then discharge's quickly without opening any program, please help.
I have checked the cooling fan, and it's working, and I took it to an IT technician and he said my hardware is allright, so is it a problem from the OS it self??
OS X(10.8.5)

Restart with the Option key held down and the Mac OS X install disk inserted, provide the firmware password, click on the DVD, press the button with the straight arrow, access the firmware settings, disable the password, and use FireWire Target Disk mode. If you can't do that or it doesn't work, contact Apple.

I keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
does iTunes launch properly?

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Satellite L455-S5975 - Powers Up but can't open any programs.

Computer powers up. Everything looks fine but you can't open any programs. You get an hourglass and then eventually it just says the program isn't responding. I can't even shut it down correctly. It is my son's computer and worked fine then he said it just wouldn't open anything.
HELP!

Do you see a desktop? A taskbar? What happens when you press Ctrl+Shift+Del?
Can you reach the Windows Recovery Environment?
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
If so, try the System Restore first.

Trojan virus on computer. Can't open any programs.

Hi,
The other day my kapersky antivirus detected a trojan on my Toshiba laptop. I deleted it. I also downloaded and ran malwarebytes. The computer has slowed down dramatically. I can't even open any program's now because the cursor shows as loading.
Can you help me. My knowledge of computers is very low so please explain things for me in layman terms.
Thank you so much

Can you check the laptop's full model and part numbers from the label on the bottom? Don't include the serial number.
Do your antivirus and antimalware programs show your computer as clean now?
