File Recovery
Welcome! If you’ve made your way to this page, you’ve likely been infected with File Recovery. Infections of this kind are generally termed scareware, they attempt to force the user into paying for them by making the case that you’re experiencing hardware failure, in this instance, by saying that the user’s hard drive is failing. Malware of this kind accomplishes this by making your computer more difficult to use while simultaneously throwing up scary error messages indicating the aforementioned hardware issues.

How Did I get infected with File Recovery?
Infections of this type usually come from infected webpages, meaning that you may have visited a site that inserted the malicious code in the course of loading its pages. In all likelihood, you won’t even be asked to install the software, it just shows up on your computer suddenly with no interaction from the user. If this is the case, you should consider upgrading to a better anti-virus solution.
How Much Damage is File Recovery Doing?
With most infections of this type, the only real damaged caused is what the infection does immediately to make your computer more difficult to use, disassociating executable files and altering your browser search settings. The disassociation of executable files is the cause of the message you’re getting asking what to use to open any program that you try to run. This is simply because the registry information that tells Windows how to execute executables has been damaged. We’ve posted a quick fix for this below in the guide.
