I recently aquired the "Vista AntiMalware 2010" rogue antimalware. I was trying to get rid of it, then I found this site
Vista AntiMalware 2010 - how to remove
And deleted the only registries I found.
I restarted my computer, and when I started it, this came up on a black screen:
NTLDB not found (or removed or something)
Press any key to restart
I'm pretty sure it was NTLDB but not 100%.
I was pretty worried, and so when I restarted it again, I hit F12, then exited that. The computer started fine, it got to my desktop OK.
BUT I can't open any programs except for Firefox. This error message comes up when I open iTunes, or any other program:
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.
I do no know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't know much about technology, but I can follow directions, and I'm not entirely stupid.
Also, before this happened, I couldn't install anything. And when I tried to, it said:
Internal error: can not expand shell folder "userappdata"
Again, any help would be appreciated. Thank you, and this is my first post.
EDIT: I also can't get to the command prompt, registry editor, or malicious removal tool. Nothing is working.
And this is only on my user. My sister's and my dad's work just fine.
