I tried all of these fixes after removing the "Vista Internet Security" malware and they did not work for me. I read Cory's comment about opening everything as an Admin and decided to take it one step further. I started another User (as an Admin) and bingo. Not a full fix, but a good start!

I had a very important pdf. file that I needed desperately and I have been trying to fix it all day. I have searched and searched all over the Internet and found NOTHING to fix it. I even called Dell and they told me in order for them to fix it it would cost me a minimum of $130, you just save me a lot of money. I clicked on the link under #2 and voila, FIXED! I can not thank you enough. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! You my friend are a miracle worker.

I got the Vista Guardian virus, tried to remove it myself by poking around in the registry (following steps I found online). This seems to have killed Vista Guardian, but I was getting this error whenever I tried to run any .exe file. (Same situation as Cory, Trudi, and chiffmonkey.) I am on Vista and Garry's fix worked perfectly (even though not all of the keys updated because some were in use). Garry’s fix worked for me when the other suggestions above didn’t.
