Windows Update Problems

[slybluefox]

Currently running windows 8.1 & unknowingly opened an infected ***.exe file. I opened it, it self deleted, UAC popped up, it started to try to open a command prompt, I said no, it kept trying so I restarted the PC, started popping up again, so I finally just said yes & here we are.

 

Anyways, the only things that I can tell that have been infected are some windows/microsoft programs. I have scanned with malewarebytes as well as few others & have come back with 0 results.

 

windows update

 

windows firewall

 

windows defender

 

outlook/excel

(this one is when trying to open an attached ***.xls file in outlook; this only started occurring after I opened the infected ***.exe file; now I have to manually save it, right click > properties > unblock, in order to view the ***.xls file)

 

 

Please help me out. Let me know what I need to post. Also, I tried running the dds.scr & dds.com but they came back with an error message about compatibility.

 

Thanks.
