    Adaware has found the following item and alerts that it may be a virus: obj(0)=regdata:execfile\shell\open\command. None of my other virus programs: spysweeper,pestcontrol,avast pick this up.
    I deleted it on adaware and then reran the program. It picked it up again.


    Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

    thanks....MIchelle:eek:

    Hi Michelle
    Perhaps it would be a good idea to do an online scan at housecall just to make sure?

    Get ExeFix8
    Some trojan/virus has changed this area of the registry, so that when you start any executable, the trojan/virus is started along with it. That little file above fixes this.
    Then do the online scan, there is an additional trojan scan below, both are a good idea.
