All folders in my pc turned into executable files.. i can open some folders but will automatically close after a second, which i can't even double click or copy to open it. How i can recover my files? please help. Thanks a lot.

Take your hard drive out of your computer and put it in a usb drive caddy (cost about £15). Then plug the caddy into another PC and see if you can then read your old hard drive and files. Run anti-virus to check your old drive. Then, if you can, move your files to a usb memory stick/flash drive. Then put your hard drive back and see if you can now use it. If not, re-format and re-load Windows and your motherboard software.

I think you may give try to Avira AntiVir. First take out your harddisk and connect it to another pc that have updated Free Avira AntiVir.Scan for viruses from that other computer.
