[Resolved] Is this Virtual CloneDrive related ?....

[slinky]

or have i picked up something somewhere that goofed with my system...

there have been a number of nasties around lately that like to inject into the "open with" command window in order to get you to run a trojan downloader (interesting bit of work!) ..... i've scanned my system with a couple of different tools and all seems fine.

I only seem to get this when i load an image in Virtual CloneDrive, the little symbols are not always the same, sometimes it's blank, sometimes it's just a dot, the using <need provider> part is always the same


any thoughts ? ..... it doesnt seem to have any affect on anything else, or operation and seems to work just fine from all the regular options... i just have this "stray thing" at the top !

I can't be 100% sure when this started, and i have been testing some video related tools (mainly flash file manipulators) so one of those might be the culprit.

I am using VCD v5.4.2.3, Windows XP Pro 32bit

Scratch that..... i found it.

Yes, i picked up something nasty, its called Total Video Player .... piece of garbage gets installed with total video converter, whether you ask for it or not, and then it fails to remove itself properly, should be renamed Total Crap


for anyone else reading this, i used CleanHandlers - AutoPlay cleanup utility, to scan for orphaned handles

and it returned this result

Orphaned handlers
