Infected Registry Key


Recommended Posts

My computer is sluggish this morning so am doing scans. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware came up with this "infected file""...the log entry reads:

Vendor: Broken.OpenCom Category: Registry Data Items:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command

Other: Bad: ("%1"%*)G.... Action taken: No action taken

I'm not sure what I have here or whether it's safe to delete the "item" (i.e. Registry Key), so I'll appreciate any and all feedback, suggestions, assitance....

Many thanks.

I had this one last week as well

"Registry Data Items Infected:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command\ (Broken.OpenCommand) -> Bad: ("%1" %*) Good: ("%1" /S) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully."

I deleted it last week but it reappeared again yesterday.Should I ignore it if it appears again?

Thanks

Do you have teatimer or other registry guard software that prevents changes to your registry ?

Did you restore to a time before the change ?

I have found this forum and q/a on this topic. I have had the same message, but it recurs.Is the teatimer causing this? What is teatimer and is it necessary?

You have a VERY old version of MBAM

YOUR VERSION

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.33

Database version: 1680

CURRENT VERSION

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.37

Database version: 2271

Please download the new version 1.37 or try to update it from within the program and then do another Quick Scan and see what you get.

The top of the log you posted says

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.33

Database version: 1680

Perhaps that was an old log from a scan long ago that you posted by accident?

The log wasn't actually my post, I was just asking about somone's reference to teatimer possibly being the cause of receiving the message

For days now I keep getting this. I delete it but it still keeps showing up in later scans. It only shows when I scan with Malware Bytes. Other programs like Spybot and Super Antispyware don't list this.

The problem is mentioned above from as early as 2008 and saying it was going to be fixed but obviously is back.

What is suggested and or when will the problem be fixed as I don't believe I have any spyware.

I will do that but it won't matter because I have run this scan more than once and it comes back with 2 items each time. This is a Malware Bytes issue. I have googled it and several people have had this problem with most always getting two items related to it in the scan. Nobody has an answer for this.

Everyone says post a log file or reboot. Well yeah I have done that a few times already and deleted it from Quarantine which does nothing.

Ran a quick scan and it found nothing. Ran part of a full scan and it found nothing. Rebooted and did a quick scan and nothing BUT today (just now) I did another quick scan and it found two items again. It wanted me to reboot. I didn't because it was pointless and did nothing last time. Therefore there is a glitch and there needs to be a program update not a definitions update for Malware Bytes.
