Sound like a virus was improperly removed, without the registry being reinstated,
does it say"cannot find XXX, this file is needed to open files of type .exe"

Its either SWEN GIBE or yaha. Run the removal tool in safe mode with system restore disabled and it will restore your registry!
Hope this helps!
