| Hi all.
| Can someone tell me why my wordpad opens every time I turn
on my computer
 
Nope :(....I had allready tried that. I also get a warning from my firewall
that says this
Malicious script detected
You computer is halted and needs to do something about this script
Object: Windows Script Host Shell Object
Activity: Regwrite
File: C:\ Windows\Fonts\Msoffice.hta

Now i've tried to go there and delete the font but the font "Msoffice.hta"
dosint exist in C:\ Windows\Fonts\Msoffice.hta :(
 
Fonts folder doesn't use a folder viewer but a font viewer. Therefore it only shows installed fonts not files. You need to use a command prompt to access files in Fonts.
 
The HTA extension is NOT a font, it's a HTML application. A HTML
application is similar to a web page, but isn't subject to all of the
restrictions that reduce the mischef regular htm and html files can
attempt. You should use an antivirus and some anti spyware utilities to
scan your system.
 
Your PC's infected. That's why you're getting the warning. You
might want to take a look here:

Scroll down to the Variant 13 section.

Download and run the CWShredder program to see if it fixes the
problem.

What AV program are you running? Is it a recent version, no older
than 2003? If so update it and run a scan. If not try one of the
following free scans.
