Hello!
See:-

Run a thorough virus scan! This issue may be caused by the
Pretty Park virus or other similar registry attacking
viruses. The Pretty Park virus creates the Files32.vxd
file, and then copies the Files32.vxd file to the
Windows\System folder of your computer. Also, the Pretty
Park virus modifies a registry key that causes the
Files32.vxd file to run when you attempt to run any program
that has an .exe file extension.
If no virus is found and uninstalling/reinstalling does not
fix the error, you will need to reinstall IE.
