I'm a rookie at writing to this forum, but what I see on this subject is a lot of computerese and not helping. A colleague has Registry Data Items Infected: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command\(default) (Broken.OpenCommand) -> Bad: (NOTEPAD.EXE %1) Good: ("%1" /S) -> No action taken. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\(default) (Broken.OpenCommand) -> Bad: (NOTEPAD.EXE %1) Good: (regedit.exe "%1") -> No action taken. Using REGEDIT, I looked for the first infection on my PC, but do not have anything on my computer as my colleague does. Can you please help me rid his computer of this? What other information do you need? Thank you, in advance, stu
