i found a nifty article that can help you. Here are the essential steps:

When removed improperly, the left over registry entries messes up the opening of .exe files.

Use an alternate browser like Chrome to download the following or use a removable drive to transfer them to the affected computer:

1. Right click and save the registry file trojan_fakerean_exe_fix.reg, make sure that you are saving the file with a .reg extension.
2. MalwareBytes’s Anti-Malware
3. CCleaner Slim version

* Double click to run the downloaded (trojan_fakerean_exe_fix.reg) registry file, Click Yes to merge the registry data. This will delete the offending registry keys blocking the .exe files.
* Install and run MalwareBytes’s Anti-Malware. Go to the Update tab and check for updates. Once the update is completed, open the Scanner tab and choose a full-scan. Once the scan is completed, click “Show results“, confirm that all instances of the rogue security software are check-marked and then click “Remove Selected” to delete them. If prompted restart immediately to complete the removal process.
* Turn System Restore off and on
* Install, scan and clean the temporary files with CCleaner Slim version.

You should now be clean of this rogue.
