After the virus attack on the computer, some of the file extension (the file) has been change or name differently. The biggest problem is when I open certain files associated with the program, I get this message
“whateverfilename.txt is not a valid Win32 application”
Before the virus attack, I can open, save and rename this file with no problem. After the attack, I am getting this problem. And, a “beep”/“ekk” sound computer from the computer.
Also, after your last review, is my computer currently virus free???
