Rename the .exe to .com and it'll work. You've got a virus.

yep...
well, if you can't delete it with your scanner (what I think) the only way out is a format c: and a new windows installation...

If you cannot execute any .exe file, so how can you search?
You run a browser and it's .exe file also. So may be the problem is with "windows explorer". Try to execute any file from the command line.

So how you think you execute it?
There is an exe file executed each time when you click an Firebox's icon in your start menu. So you cannot have ALL you exe files corrupted.
Anyway. Try to go to "run" menu. Type there "msconfig". Go to startup tab and uncheck all there. Then restart your pc.

If you'll still have the problem reinstall this fucking system ;)
