Nowadays, rogue antivirus and antispyware programs are too many to mention. My first few posts are more of screenshots than solution due to my very busy schedule of being a Technical Support at night and a freelancer by day. I have my notes with me but I still need to edit them before publishing them here.
Moving forward, the latest and most common fake antivirus are XP Antivirus/AntiMalware/Guardian/Internet Security 2010 and its Vista counterpart, obviously exploiting these popular operating systems. Removing them is easy by looking for the av.exe or ave.exe location which is commonly found in AppData or Application Data Directory. You may easily search for it by loading regedit (Registry Editor Window) and then key in ave.exe after hitting CTRL + F (Find). Okay, you might be frowning right now as you read this "not-so-organize" instructions so my apologies. I will have a different post about the malware removal. For now, let us resolve the "open with" issue due to modified registry values.
So here's the fix - OpenWithPatch. Download and save the file on your desktop. Double click on it to RUN. Click OK on the "I'm Done" dialog box.
