Hi, my computer has just been infected by "Windows Security 2011" virus. I looked up online on how to remove the virus and a part of the steps require to me remove some registry files. After removing all the desired registry files, i cannot open my antivirus software, internet browser and every .exe application.

As of now, I cannot open hijackthis. So i can't post the log here.

Please help.
