Opening C:\ and network drives comes up with "Open with" box

[Christopher]

Hello folks i shall explain the problem.

PC: Windows XP Pro SP2 with full updates installed.
Member of a Windows 2003 SBS domain

This could be a virus although online scans say none are present.

When go into my computer and click on C:\ or any network drives that are
listed it brings up the "Open with" box and will not open into the drives at
all.

Also really any .EXE programs i try to run also bring up this "Open with"
box so i cannot even run any scans with spyware / adware programs.

I setup another account on a different PC, added in 2 network drives and the
same thing is happening.

Any ideas or help would be great..thanks.

Also do several different spyware scans and clean anything found. I hope
this helps

Thanks Dan for the quick reply , I am afriad it didnt fix it though.

I followed the pages for manually and automaticlly deleting this, funny
thing is that it is displaying all the symptoms for this exact problem but
yet none of the files are present on the computer / processes / service.

Back to the drawing board (google )
