OriginalMe Posted March 20, 2011 It's inlvoling scareware, this klc.exe file. None of my excecutables work except for steam now. Somehow I got IE working through typing in a web adress from Windows Explorer. Command prompt still can ping websites. But none of my .exe's work anymore. The current issue is that when I try to open them, from their program folder or from a shortcut, the 'open with' window opens up. I'm just going to reformat probably, but I'm just curious to hear what you all have to say on the matter. Any input is appreciated; and if a solution WITHOUT reformatting is possible, I'm all ears.
