All - need a bit of advice to hopefully solve an ongoing problem...
XP Pro (Dell D600 512MB ram & D610 1GB ram) both running SP2 - so here goes
Both laptops have been venturing around the world (on separate occasions) and ended up with losing nearly all of their file associations the only way i.e. cant open some executibles - I can easily recover from this issue by restoring the OS using a hidden image (Acronis) - now the 1st time this happened we weren't using Acronis (which eliminates that) and the second time we were, so he we have 2 laptops totaly independant from each other but end up with the same problem - both are running Sophos (which is updated hourly when online) and both are also running Ad-Aware SE.
As the user has full admin rights the only thing I can think of is he/she is looking at sites which you shouldnt and along comes some spyware - as I am now at a total loss any ideas would be welcome to help me investigate the issue further - thanks
