    My system is clean. I am running Script Sentry, Spybot S & D, Adaware, Abtrusion Protector, Nod32 AV, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, File Checker, Active Ports, Eraser, Zone Alarm.

    This file is consistantly coming up in Spybot S & D

    Possible extension hijack: Default registry file handler (Registry change, nothing done)
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\!=regedit.exe "%1"


    --- Spybot - Search && Destroy version: 1.3 ---

    And this is what follows in a Ad-aware scan

    Vendor:Windows
    Category:Vulnerability
    Object Type:RegData
    Size:-
    Location:regfile\shell\open\command "" ()
    Last Activity:19-05-2004
    Risk LevelLow
    Comment: Possible virus infection, REG file extension compromised
    Description:General Windows Security Issue.Your system security may be compromised.

    And yet, a scan with Nod comes up clean...

    Cheers :D

    Ignore it

    it's warning you that something is changing the commands for opening reg files

    It's certain to be either script sentry or reg prot or similar causing it
