I have a question about I get a 'File not found' message when I try to start any program:

I did everything that this article told me but i still can't open any files or folders. I installed the file and restarted my computer but it's not working.

Hi , go to any reputable virus software scanner site and do a scan , this is a viral symtom and Yaha and it's variants have been making the rounds lately , some variants can disable your installed virus scanner and even lock the task manager and regedit to prevent removal manually. Case
