Guest jchchye Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Hey people, Using Ad-Aware to scan my computer the other day and got the following results: Type : RegData Data : "c:\program files\internet explorer \iexplore.exe" %1 TAC Rating : 3 Category : Vulnerability Comment : Rootkey : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Object : scrfile\shell\open\command Value : Data : "c:\program files\internet explorer \iexplore.exe" %1 I have yet to delete it due to the whole thing being related to IE and fearing that if I remove it, it'll lead to some errors. Please enlighten. Thanks all.

Then go to this site and download SCR file Association Fix http://dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
