Notepad no longer works, how do I fix it?

I am not sure if this is the right place to be posting this but a few days ago I noticed that my notepad was no longer working and when I try to open a file that uses notepad it cannot find the program. Does anyone know how to get it working again? And I wonder how it happened in the first place? I have a feeling it may have been from a few viruses or a browser hijack that I had a few weeks ago, as that’s the only thing I can think of. Thanks.

I've heard of this happening because of viruses. Run a virus scan to clean it out and you can download Notepad.
