A few months ago, I went on a website that was filled with trojans and worms and really infected my computer. It affected all my computer games excepted for one. And now I have a anti virus software called VIPRE and it cosed a lot of money. So now the viruses are out and my computer is find excepted for one thing. When I try to play one of my once was infected games, The Sims 3, it said it had a script error on my launch screen. I clicked keep running scripts and I clicked play, it then said this “Windows cannot access the specified device, path , or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.” I think it is either the anti virus software or that the disk has a lot of scratches. HELP ME!


VIPRE is not recommended as it has low detection rates. Most pro’s recommend Avast! antivirus. But as for your problem. Try going to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ They have great support and will help you with any problem
Uninstall it and reinstall it, the directory is just messed up.
You may need to reinstall windows. the path links have been corrupted.
Download the anti-malware program Malwarebytes. Reboot the computer and boot up to safemode. To do that press F8 after the Bios screen. Install it and run a scan.
Here is a download link.http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebyt…
It always makes me cringe when I hear people paying money for anti virus. Uninstall that antivirus program and download microsoft security essentials. Also download malware bytes and run a full scan of your system after updating malware bytes. That combo will give you complete protection as long as you run malware bytes once a week or so.
