Have it your way.

But if "vUpAVX!!!!!!!!!MKKSkWORDFiles>tW{~$4Q]c@5d1`,xaTO5 /n /dde" is just some weird ASCII translation, then I have to say that you have no idea what you're talking about.

May be relevant. Read them all.

2 possibilities I have found:

1. Virus

Weird strings similar to the one quoted - virus, origin Russian Federation.Cure ? ? ?

2. Identical string to one quoted, supposed by some to be leftover reg entry after upgrade from Office 2000 (but could still be virus!)

Quote
I solved the problem by deleting the type file .docx with the program Creative Elements Power Tools*. After this cancellation all files .docx are now associated with Microsoft Word

Even if this appears to clear the problem, I would still do a very thorough virus check, as guided by the very good experts in the malware section of Computerhope.

If this works I want a nice "Thank you".

*Not freeware. May be other tools which do the same job. Or evaluation copy (time limited) may do the job for you.

    just delete the f-ing things manually. they only appear 5 or 6 times.

    the command key is not used by anything anyway. And additionally I have the same weird key myself.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Excuse me but that cuss word really degraded the quality of your post.
      I'm going to ask the admins if cursing is against forum rules.
      It's certainly not pleasant to read.

      Just to make it easy for you, here are the rules: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,58736.0.html

      By the way, technically, "f-ing" could have meant "fecking", which was recently introduced into the English dictionary.

      It could also have meant "freaking", common I believe in North America, which I find much more annoying than the word it is supposed to stand in for. Treval, you seem to have a certain, shall I say, attitude, which I fear will do you no good on here.

        Reported.

        By the way kpac, why are you trying to cover up for that guy?
        You could show some intelligence, for example:

        If he meant to write a normal accepted word, why did he censor it?
        Censored words are cuss words.
        I am 100% sure he didn't mean 'fecking'.
        '-' doesn't stand for omission, * does.
        '-' is used to couple words together (e.g. "part-crunching", "bone-clicking").
        If It did, it would be f- - - - ing (each - replacing a character).
        When one curses, **** is used.
        However he did not, he wrote only one -.
        Either way, that kind of writing causes me grief, which is against the forum rules.

        You think I'm dumb don't you?
        Of course I read the forum rules before I made accusations.
        I read them all carefully.
        Fact is, the language he wrote was intentionally censored,
        so don't try to cover him up.
        I find this a very unfair way of treating forum users who have valid complaints.

        Also, Salmon, you can join my ignore. ;)
        I don't tolerate users who break the rules and are not friendly.

        Moderators, see here:

        http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,70852.0.html

        Q. - # Posts flaming other members/rude posts
                  - # Posts with obscene or inappropriate language


        Proof A: Salmon has posted a rude post
        Proof B: BC_Programmer censored his post, implying a cuss word, a tantrum word, which is unpleasant behavior.
        Proof C: Salmon has been very rude before (his 63rd post), I am referring back to the first rule (no flaming/rude posts):

        Q. "billrich, you are an obstinate, ignorant, stupid fool. It is way past time that you were compelled to shut up."
        Calling people names. Against rules. Rude. Dismissed.

        post 77 Q. "but don't whine about the negative feedback that such an attitude is bound to bring you."
            Rude: saying people "whine"


        post 80 .Q "pds, unfortunately you are (and have been) posting nonsense. if you cannot answer questions properly, do not answer them at all."

        post 138; saying someone has mental health issues
                  Q. "xfusion, billrich is a person with mental health issues who has been banned under several different names, but he keeps coming back, and the mods won't do anything about it. Please just ignore him."

        post 139; rude acronym; inappropriate language; against forum rules
                  Q. "Well, it was you, the banned loony, who helped drive it off topic, with your ridiculous posts, so maybe you should just STFU?"

        post 142; rude;
                  Q. "He's completely crazy."

        post 154; calling people names; being arrogant; rude
                  Q. "trollboy still doesn't get it."

        post 175; arrogance; rude
                  Q. "A question: how is that "tough"? I asked my 9 year old nephew to do the arithmetic, and he did it very easily."

        post 179; rude instead or diplomatic
                 Q. "Get off my case, Allan."

        post 203: calling someone a fool; rude
                Q. "makes you sound like a fool."

        post 229: extremely rude + namecalling; rude
                Q. "Just read the posts on this  forum to see how dumb Windows users are compared with Linux users. Not including the "I downloaded Obunto and now I can't find My Documents" type people."

        post 249: obnoxious unpleasant rude behavior; rude
                Q. "You'd fail Moral Philosophy 101 with that argument, except possibly in Nazi Germany or Pol Pot's Cambodia."

        post 270: obnoxious; rude
                Q. "And you never will while you keep posting nonsense."
         

        Clearly this guy is nothing but an obnoxious Brit, most people don't like him because
        of his arrogance and his obnoxious nature.
        I don't want anything to do with this guy and if I was an admin, he would be banned.
        Also, arithmetics are difficult. Don't come talk about your 9 year old nephew.
        When I was 9, I could do + and -, not more.
        It was already difficult for me.
        I could do arithmetics when I was 21.


        By this I therefor stand,
        Treval

        Look, the fact is that this is a public forum on the wide open Internet. If you are offended by such small things, then a public forum on the wide open Internet is not for you.

          Nice going moderator.
          No offense to you but I believe you are not doing your basic administrative tasks well.
          A person has been rude more than once and you are being lazy by not checking it up.

          I don't understand this.
          Also there are "family friendly forums" on the internet.

          The fact remains that it was against the rules, Salmon also broke the rules and you do nothing about it.

          And yet you have no idea what you are talking about. "Web moderator" means that I am moderator of the Web Design forum only, so I do not have full moderative abilities.

          BC_Programming reacted in this way because of your attitude. At least 4 people have told you that you more than likely have a malware related problem. You said "no, I've done my scans". We told you it's not enough. So in other words, you are not talking our advice. Yeah, you may have asked a question and not gotten an answer you'd like, but you should still follow our advice. You came here for help didn't you?


          Also, most of those posts you quoted "abuse" from have nothing to do with you so stay clear from them.

            I scanned, I followed every single step on the spyware forum.
            Yes, I had only 1 cookie on my system.
            Everything was ok.

            Right,  I try to help the community by ridding it of bad people and you tell me to stay out
            instead of thanking me for that half an hour I just spent trying to show proof of his misbehavior
            and obnoxiousness.
             
            Well, I won't listen to you anymore.
            You do not fulfill the tasks of being a moderator.

            Oh dear! I feel as if I have been flayed alive and then rubbed all over with salt! Wow, Treval, you sure made a big post there! Top marks for research! if you look for the users "Dias de Verano" and "Contrex", you can find a lot more, I think.
