when I try to open or strat any application, it opens the "open with" dialog box
I have a windows 7 laptop that has a virus, I found the file that was the virus and deleted it.
When when ever I try to open any file, it opens up the "open with" dialog box, so I can't start any applications. The only wayt to start an application is if I right click on the file and run as administrator, then it works, it runs the app.
When I open a word document or ap picture file, it works it opens the application up.
When I try to start word, or any application, that's when it doesn't work.
I tried to go to teh screensaver, and I get the following error:
"C:\windows\systm32\rundl3
"Application not found"
I'm stumped.
I'm running malwarebytes for malware, but it didn't find anything yet.

It sounds like the registry was corrupted during virus removal. Please try making a new file on the desktop that is a .TXT file. After that, open the file and then insert this:
Go to file -> save as, and save as a .reg file. Then, right click that file, and select merge.
Let me know if it works for you.
