I'm not sure what's going on here. I downloaded a program (from CNET, as I recall) called Web Photo Studio. As soon as I had done this, a bunch of word processor and image files I had on my computer were designated as Web Photo Studio files, which they aren't. I deleted the program, but any new file I create in my word processor or photo program (or receive by email and try to open) is still designated a Web Photo Studio file.

This is particulalry a problem when I try to open an emailed file in Outlook because I get a message saying that the required program can't be found.

I'm annoyed that this is happening and worried that I downloaded something harmful which is still messing up my computer. I don't have a clue what to do about this since the program is supposed to have been deleted.

Any advice will be appreciated.

most likely your file associations was changed and you will have to reassign. The steps taken to reassign depends upon your operating system. What are you using.
