Hey, I just did a virus scan and it found a Trojan horse in the Oblivion files, so I deleted it. Now when I click play on the Oblivion screen it says " the Oblivion launcher could not find the Oblivion game executable. please reinstall oblivion " If I reinstall Oblivion will i lose my saves? and if so is there a way that i can reinstall it and keep them? Thanks.

Your saves are in "My Documents," nowhere near your Oblivion installation. Plus, it'll give you an option of whether or not you wish to get rid of your saves in the uninstaller...so go ahead and reinstall it.

Go to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs, and remove Oblivion that way. If it doesn't work, find your Oblivion install folder, delete it(the saves are not there), and try again. If anything, this should clear the registry so you can reinstall it.

go into: My Documents/MY Games/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivon
Next you will see the save games file, cut and past it in C drive then go back to :
My Documents/MY Games/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion
and delete the Rest of the Oblivion file.
go back to the C: Drive where your main Oblivion game is and delete the whole Oblivion file
EVERYTHING in it all you need to keep is the Save Game file I had you place in the main C file.

Now try to reload the game from the start it should work.

After you reinstall the game take your save game file and go to the new
My Documents/MY Games/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion file and then paste the
save game file in it. It will ask if you want to replace the existing save
game file say yes! After that close out of all the files and go play the game.
