Cannot open any .exe files? How to fix exe error?
Okay, here's the info:
- I had the virus "Win 7 Total Security 2011" -- I manually got rid of it via regedit
- Once I logged back in there were no traces of the virus
- One problem remains, and it's a big one
- I cannot open ANY .exe files whatsoever (including regedit, so I cannot edit the registry)
- I downloaded a free trial of a good antivirus software, but once in downloads, I could not run the installer for it
- When I try to even change tabs in Internet, the same error message pops up, just with a different name
- Here is an example of the error messages (from changing tabs in Internet Explorer):
"C:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre6\bin\ssvagent.ex…
'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Pleae install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel'"
Is this a legit error message? (I ask this because of the virus)
If so, do I have to associate programs for .exe files? How? (I don't even know what this all means)
If I have to do the associate thing, is there a way to restore something so that my computer is back to normal?
Dllhost.exe is a file used by the "Norton Internet Security" range of programs, and is used primarily by the "Symantec Service Framework" to help your computer load up the various files, settings & options that it requires to run. Even though this program is a very important part of the Norton suite of programs, it's actually one of the main causes of errors on your system, especially known for when it shows when you try to initiate a shut-down of your PC.
This Dllhost.exe error continually shows in this format:
* Dllhost.exe - Application error The instruction at "0x059a2df" referenced memory at 0x059a2df" the memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the Program.
Dllhost.exe errors form because the program either has a problem or is corrupted. This not only causes the error above to show, but will also lead your system to perform in some other strange ways. If you see this error on your system, you need to get rid of it in the most effective way possible - by first ensuring the "Norton" software on your computer is working correctly, as well as then fixing any potential problems that Windows has.
The way to fix this error is to first update Norton to make it run as smoothly & effectively as possible. This can be done using the "Live Update" feature of the software to obtain the latest patches for the version you're running. This may fix the Dllhost.exe error, but more often than not - it will require much more than just a simple update. If you find that the error still occurs after updating your system, yo should then remove Norton from your PC and then reinstall a fresh copy. This should replace the file on your computer, and will hopefully cure any of the issues that it may have had.
It's recommended that you use a "registry cleaner" program to fix any of the files, settings and options that could be corrupted inside the "registry" and causing these errors to show. The registry is a large database which stores all sorts of important information for your system, and is where the Dllhost.exe file keeps a lot of its settings & options that it requires to run. Unfortunately, this file is continually being damaged - leading your computer to run extremely slowly and with a lot of errors as a result. To fix this, you should use a registry cleaner tool to fix any of the potential problems that this file has inside the registry of your system - which should fix the error and stop it recurring.
Dllhost.exe popup on task manager?
Everytime I restart my computer, a pop up appears saying
"error loading c:/users/sara/appdata/local/ohoyiziy.dll this specified module cannot be found."
I started Task Manager and dllhost.exe is present. Is there anyway I can get rid of this popup? should I "end task" to dllhost.exe?
any help is much appreciated! thank you!
dllhost.exe is a Windows file (assuming it's in the System32 folder). Ending that process is not going to solve anything. The error message you are getting refers to a malware file that is no longer on your computer. The file is gone but there is still a registry entry for it that calls for the file to load. Try using Fix Helpmate, do a quick scan, hopefully that will take care of it. Otherwise it's possible to find the registry entry yourself using regedit and delete it but that takes some knowledge of using regedit.

dllhost.exe Application error?
I have this error a few weeks ago, but i don't care really about it, but now it forced me to temporarily use Chrome until it fixed. The error is memory error, but it's not "memory could not be read" error, it read like this:
"The exception of unknown software exception 0xc0000409 occurred in the application at location 0x01e13335"
Here's the screenshot to straighten things up.
