  1. I have noticed over the past few weeks that removal of variants of the Fake A/V malware has led to corruption of the user's profile. When attempting to run many programs, Windows Open With: dialogue comes up asking to choose a program to run the file with. An example would be if you tried to open IE, you would get that dialogue, can choose IE from the dialogue, at which point one is asked to run the install file. Another example would be opening Word, where the dialogue would come up, then choosing Word either the program will run, or you will be asked to install it. However, if you double click on a Word document, Word opens just fine. If you create a new profile, everything works just fine, so there is corruption in the original profile Other, existing profiles seem to work OK, most of the time, but there are times when it will exhibit the same behavior as the original profile that was active when the Fake A/V was cleaned. Has anyone observed this behavior as well, or are we the only "fortunate" ones to see this behavior? Has anyone determined exactly what gets broken, and a method to fix it? A fix for this, other than creating a new profile and all the work that goes along with it, would be greatly appreciated.
