Solved Windows 7 – Programs Won’t Open

  • 9

I have Windows 7 & yesterday I started having trouble opening programs. What I’ve done so far:
1. Run AVG anti-virus & 1 click repair – says all issues fixed.
2. Run Driver Restore – says no issues.
3. Deleted several programs which may have been problematic. MacAfee (which had again sneaked onto my computer!),
4. Separately defragged just for good measure

Made things worse by clicking on the wrong button when I was downloading AVG (I bought it after several unsuccessful attempts to download the free version). After that my browsers started loading on strangely, with www.trovi.com as the default home & several Microsoft Partner pop-ups recurring.

I’m not a pro at all this so – HELP! Thanks.

  1. Look here for suggestions on how to completely remove Mcaffee – https://www.google.com/webhp?source…

    I got hit with Trovi a few weeks ago, look here for how to remove it – http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/…

    You might also want to run Malwarebytes, it sounds like you may have other nasties in your system – http://www.malwarebytes.org/
