Registry value found by Ad-Aware

[jchchye]

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.

Hello,

That is the incorrect data for an .scr (screensaver) file. I would
allow AdAware to delete it.
Then go to this site and download SCR file Association Fix

I'm not the right person to answer your question but do you think you could answer mine? Hoe do you get into administrative mode to install Ad-Aware?
