I tried to download antivirus software (my current antivirus was disabled) but again I cannot run the program because it cannot locate a program to open an .exe file.
SirCam virus might cause such problems and it shows up in this registry key, according to MS: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command

Look for: C:\recycled\sirc32.exe "%1" %*

Do you have a bootable antivirus CD? If not you could have someone make one for you, see Symantec's instructions at:
