    Well It's probably because of viruses and spyware but I can't run any programs. I can do IE, Word, MSN, Trillian, WMP, RealPlayer, Notepad...Stuff like that but I can't run Counter-Strike, Dreamweaver, TeamSpeak, SmartFTP.

    What happens is I double click the program and a Command Prompt pops up...but quickly shuts down.

    Below is a ScreenShot of me trying to open Counter-Strike

    Anyone know what's wrong? Can it be viruses? Can I end a process to kill the virus? Is there a specific file I should delete or a specific folder that might be suspicous? If anyone can help I'll pay them all of my credits so 27 for now...hopefully about 40 by the end of the day. Maybe 50 by the time this gets fixed :(

    Can you run your av program? What do you have?

    Have you actually tried virus scanning?

    hmm Well here is a list of various things you can try:
    -I would try rebooting your computer first
    -Still doesnt work? Try cleaning out your drive by doing this:
    --Start->All Programs->Accesories->Disk Cleanup
    ---Then Start->All Programs->Accesories-Disk Defragmentation

    -If all fail, try uninstalling the programs, then reinstalling it.

    Thanks LXSCOPE but I don't see how either of those would work...I'll try them but I think it will be a big waste of time :(

    download adaware, free. spybot search and destroy McAfee, zone alarm.. i dont know, those are just a few programs that could help you.

    definatly always have a virus fighting program. i just have McAfee, Zone Alarm, and Spybot Search And Destroy, and have never had a virus in 4 years.

    but since your comp is already virused and these programs are ruined, do what i said, or at least you have to re-install the programs.
