    Right clicking My Computer shows garbage for OPEN
    Please advise. When I open My Computer, and right click on C drive, where OPEN should be at the top is foreign gibberish. It doesn't work. Nor does attempting to open the C drive by clicking on it: it asks what application I want to use to do this. I scanned with Norton Internet Security deep scan, very latest definitions and came up clean. Pleae advise.

    I solved this problem myself just now by Googling "Ioeauou", the gibberish I see instead of OPEN I mentioned in the help request. Google returned one hit and took to me to "bullguard.com." A lady or gentleman named "Touch - Forum Moderator" at Trojan agent AGEG ? - Free Antivirus Forum had the solution to my problem. I followed his/her lengthy instructions, and came up fixed and clean. I'm indebted to "Touch - Forum Moderator."

    Good day.
