Executables won't run after a malware attack
I have had two computers on our network that have been victims of malware attacks. I have run malware bytes and it removes any found threats but executables will not work properly. When clicking on any icon that is not a document, you are prompted with the "Open with" dialog box. I have also used combofix. On the first computer that I encountered the issue with I ended up renaming the user's profile to "user.domain.old". When she logged on next time her profile was recreated and worked fine. Before I do the same to this computer I was hoping for some suggestions.

Try some of the other steps mentioned here. Use the reg script provided by SSharma since it's more complete but follow some of the steps on importing there. You can also check the file association type (one of the first steps mentioned there) to see if it's of any help.

I temporarily granted the user admin rights and the script ran fine and the executables seem to be working. Points will be granted tomorrow once user verification can be done.
Thanks SSharma
