Angry Help TA: virus

hey guys i need some help....

Im on my laptop right now, none of my programs that has the extension of .exe seems to open up and a error message of this comes up....

"Windows cannot find 'C:Program Files....exe'. You may have typed the name incorrectly in th Run dialog, or another open program cannot find a system file. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

I already tried rebooting, opening the files from different locations, moving them, almost eveything of common knowledge but didnt work. I dont want to reformat my computer either because i cant even use my cd burner to back up my programs. So basically i cant use anything on my computer, i managed to make my norton virus scanner to work but it didnt pick up anything.

what should i do? would it help if i knew where i got the virus from? thanks in advance

ofcourse I ran my virus scanner but it didnt pick it up. Im trying not to reformat my comp because most of the files i want are .exe files. anyone else?

does anybody know what this virus may be called or what its related to?

sounds like something is screwed with windows if your virus scanner didnt pick it up, you may get more response by posting at a tech forum, try www.majorgeeks.com

Yeah, I had that one too - infected most of my exe files (including crucial Windows files)...

As far as I remember it was called "funlove" or something... I used some freeware virus killer which removed the viruses from the files but most of the files ended up corrupt

Funny thing, though - it said in the virus definition it only spreads through email attachments, but I hadn't even received any attachments in 6 months or so... so I was thinking it came from my old 133mhz PC which I'd hooked to my PC through LAN - but even that was recently formatted and hadn't been used in years before that...
