Would you have any clue as to when the infection may have happened? Perhaps this thing is listed under another alias. :confused:

Well I cant find anything on this file but I believe it is a virus that creates a random file and makes it run with EVERY .exe so thats why it says that when you try to run anything. What did your virus scanner say that "kihhucrtq.exe" was it is usually something like "Virus.Z.WatchOut

Well did your scanner have an option to disinfect it? And I would try rescanning your HD to maybe find the thing making it always try to run. And maybe even recover the virus if it is in your recycle bin and re scan it so you can tell us what its officla name is.

I have an idea are u any good with regedit? If u are go to this "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command" Now there should be a String Value named "Default" open it up and whatever is in it delete and put in ----> "%1" %* <---- dont add the arrows but that quote at the front is to be added. Now tell me if that fixes it.

Yeh I had actually just made that up from a different virus fix :) So did it completely fix the problem?
