Major Problems...PLEASE HELP!

I think I may have accidentally downloaded a virus or something. Suddenly all of my icons on my desktop and in my Start menu have been changed, and everything opens my DVD QuickPlay program. I am able to open IE through the Start menu, which I suppose is my one saving grace. Unfortunately I can't run a Norton scan, since it is affected. I also tried to run System restore, but it also opens the DVD QuickPlay. I downloaded HijackThis, but of course when I try to open it DVD Quickplay opens instead. This is a Compaq laptop running Windows Vista. It seems as if most, if not all of my .exe files have been corrupted. I have a feeling I'm in deep doo-doo here and would appreciate any help! Has anyone seen this before?? Thanks so much for your time.

Well, I think the problem is resolved. I took a gamble and un-installed the program that all of my .exe files was opening. After that, everything seems to be working properly. I don't have DVD QuickPlay anymore, but I can live without it I suppose.
