No worries, friend. At least you reported back as to what you did to fix the problem, it seems. That can perhaps help others that come across your thread here and your solution, and helps to remind all of us that infections such as the one you described can cause this problem.
Glad you are sorted out there it seems, thanks for replying as to what you did, and good luck to you always.
The solution that worked for me was this:
https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Previous-versions-EN/Cannot-open-teamviewer-13-Windows-cannot-find-C-Program-Files/td-p/34713
Run regedit
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
expand the list and delete the entry for steam.exe and any other software you're having issues with.
And never install Avast ever again.
Hey big thanks. This was this was exactly my problem. wasted hours on system restores and registry cleaners. Youre a lifesaver :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I just went through this entire post and did all the troubleshooting tips to fix the issue and COMPLETELY missed one detail on the fix using the regedit manually....... Saw right in the HKEY path for steam.exe that it was running through AVAST even after I had uninstalled it!
Thanks everyone for the effort here as I FINALLY got my machine to run Steam again....!!!!
You guys are all super awesome and keep up the good work and I agree with aeldron with what he said about;
"Never install Avast ever again!"
YOU ARE A SAINT. This worked perfectly. I didn't have to uninstall anything. Thank you so much. <3
-steam should give us an antivirus for GAMERS-
thanks for the last two days i had this problem and this is the only thing that worked
