[Guest1234]

I am not sure if it is a virus or what not, but the files that usually open with notepad no longer open and the thing that said notepad now targets to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ACTMOVIE.EXE" and starts in "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%".

When i look at the actmovie file's properties it says its a "directshow setup tool"

Please help, I can no longer do "View source" on my browser because notepad wont open.

Heres a hijackthis log incase you need it.

Hi

What happens if you click start>>> run and type notepad and click OK?

Please download ComboFix and save it to your desktop.
Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
When it's done running it will produce a log for you. Please post that log in your next reply.

Important Note - Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
