Greetings onrpgs.

My dads laptop acting all weird just now. Im suspecting a virus.

Everytime i open an application installed on the laptop, it opens the Windows Media Center. Apparently all my .exe files are affected, even the icons changed to the Windows Media icon (Skype, Microsoft Word, Paint and etc application icons turned to Windows Media icon).

Im sorry i cant provide a screenie because i cant even print screen and save it on paint (everytime i open Paint, it leads me to Windows Media Center )

Luckily i can access the antivirus, so atm im performing a deep scan on the laptop.

Any help is appreciated

EDIT:

Done virus checking, antivirus wont be able to help. I cant even access to system restore too D; I guess the only way is to reformat the laptop? ;s
