    Hi miket,

    Use the Find/Files in Windows:
    Start > Run > Find
    I am looking for possible infections and what infected people have in common, so we can come to a solution that works for all.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter,
    Thanks for your time so far the registry add is as follows

    "c:\windows\ system\d3dbpgk.dll "

    I contacted Trend they suggested i look in this area and it was exactly where they said but i delete it and it returns , i have a feeling it is actually somwhere else and keeps dropping copies when it see's the entry has been removed , so far it hasn't done any damage that i can see but trend keeps flashing up alarms and this gets annoying and makes me wonder if its sending my info outwards

    Thanks Mike t

    Please surf to http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ and scroll down to
    Registry Search Tool
    Download, unzip and run RegSrch.vbs
    Copy and paste this in the dialog box: d3dbpgk.dll

    After a while a prompt will come up. Click OK to write the results to wordpad and post them.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    I think that "obscure editor" you were trialing has taken over some file associations it shouldn't have.

    Can you see if uninstalling it fixes it?
