New Type Of Malware, Any One Else Encounter This Yet?

By Networking Security Posted in: Security Solutions

I recently came across a new strain of malware called Win 7 Security 2012. I treated it with the standard scan from Malwarebytes anti mallware. It seemed to clean it out, but now all of the applications on the computer will not open. The user gets a pop up saying asking what they want to open the application in. I was helping someone remotely so working on it physically will have to wait until they come into the office on Monday morning. However if there is a solution to resolve the problem with the applications, I’d be grateful. I think it’s a registry issue, but I’m not sure where in the windows registry.
