Guest Gruff the Elder Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I scanned my XP Pro sp3 system with MalwareBytes AntiMalware and got the following hit: "Broken.OpenCommand". The detail indicated a problem with the registry entry at HKClasses_Root\scrfile\shell\open\command\ Under the column heading "Other" MB further indicated: Bad ("%1" %*) Good ("%1" /S) When I used regedit to look at this key, the value (REG_SZ) is indeed "%1" %* So I infer that MB is saying that the value of this key should be changed to "1%" /S What does this key do; why is the first value bad; and should I change it to the second value?

Why you need to play with the registry and MalwareBytes can fix it for you! http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t6195.html let MalwareBytes fix it and run another scan to see if it will be picked up again.

I suppose you also regularly run registry cleaners and permit them to delete whatever registry entries they claim are "bad".

Guest ju.c Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Re: Registry Question: Broken Open Command Many Windows screen savers come with an .SCR extension by default. Usually these will be found in the Windows main directory. Use caution if you receive a screen saver file via E-mail. These files can contain executable code and can be worms or viruses. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension. MalwareBytes is correct, let it change it. ju.c "Gruff the Elder" <GrufftheElder@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2563C8DE-E296-4CAA-8E96-9818A355C116@microsoft.com... > I scanned my XP Pro sp3 system with MalwareBytes AntiMalware and got the > following hit: "Broken.OpenCommand".
