I ran a bootime scan because my computer was plagued by a virus that would not let me run anything. I set the scan to “delete all” and now I cannot run any programs from itunes to internet explorer to system restore! Is there anyway to recover or install the programs I need to get my computer up and running again?

follow the above link and attach all the logs…Hmm…maybe this topic should be in the virus and worm forum. ;D
Have you tried reverting to a prior System Restore point ???
For XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084
For Vista and Win7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore
I do not have any Logs for scans because the Avast scan deleted everything. After the scan I could not even open Avast. I tried running a restore and that has not work because the computer will not let me run the program. I am wondering if I can reinstall Avast from a thumb drive and revert the changes using the program? Any more suggestions? Please
since this started as a virus problem…and most probably still is, i recomend you let Essexboy have a look

i will PM essexboy so he see this when he arrive here tomorrow
Without more info, essexboy (nor anyone else for that matter) can’t be able to help. So please attach the logs Pondus requested.
In addition, instead of describing the situation as “I can’t run…” or “it won’t let me…”, you could add some specific info about what you actually see (error messages or anything else), together with information about your system and programs (which would also be included in the logs, partially).
even i asked him to attch the os by following essexs guide
