As I mentioned, the dialog box appears after every restart. It occurs after I entered my credentials to logon and proceeded to windows. It seems to be pretty late in the boot process that things like the chat programs and widgets are fully charged at the time wherever the dialog box is displayed.
The dialog box appears to be the 'Open with' dialog box in Windows 7 standard.
Specifically the dialogue reads as follows:
Choose the program you want to open this file:
File: Mathew [it's my user id and he showed not extension)If I open the file into something like Notepad, then the information below is presented (the # s are real numbers, but these looked like mac addresses, so I left)

I solved the problem.
I found that when creating a new user, no longer had the open with dialog box.
I started the process of resolution of a corrupted user profile (which seems little more than creating a new and copy and paste a few old values), when I decided to try one last thing.
I logged on my account corrupted again and when the 'Open with' dialog that I open the file with Notepad. I tried to "save under" to locate the file and found that it was located in C:\Users. Something in recent weeks seems to have put a file without an extension, called "Mathew" (my log in name) in this folder, and it began when I started windows.
I have since deleted the file and am no longer get the "Open with" dialog
Thanks for your support!

original title: 'Open with' problem...
My office was attacked by malware. I have run virus scan and all updates that were available. When the operating system starts, a window opens asking me to "choose the program you want to open this file: file: rundll32.exe.". There are recommended programs and other programs, but I'm fairly certain that none of them are correct. Can anyone help direct me in the right direction to solving this problem? Every program I try to open, translates into an opening by asking the same question, but the file name changes to whatever program I am trying to the window. Thanks in advance for any help.

necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
is installed.Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.---------------------------------------------------
2.

When I click on the item to taskbar Windows 7 to Firefox (or on the Start Menu, too), he asks me each time if I really want to open this file:
... \ick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Mozilla Firefox.lnk
I say YES and it opens... until next time, when he asks again.
But a double click on the shortcut of Firefox on my desktop doesn't only!
I tried unpin and re-pinnning program without success.
I tried to create the pinning of the original exe or shortcut on the desktop or the StartMenu option.
All have them! And it has worked perfectly well for years, but I had to reinstall FF today and now it goes.
How can I stop this annoying feature?
I found a column that actually addressed this and he said to go to the CMD prompt and enter:
ICACLS '%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program' /Setintegritylevel (OI) (CI) Medium
Tried without success.
Another site told me to uncheck the box that says "ask before opening" but there is no such box on the pop-up.
Maybe because it's a .lnk instead of a .exe? I do not know.
Please do not suggest that I use IE or Chrome instead. I use IE much... but there are some things that Firefox is just the right solution for.
Thank you!
Hi MiloInSanDiego
The response of the creation of a new user account was because after the steps mentioned by Babu, you said in the post on Jan 3 that you get this message 'Do you want to allow the following program to make changes on this computer' like this could be due to the virus.
By creating a new user account, if there is a corruption of the profile by a virus, it will be there in the new profile. This is the reason for the creation of a new user profile.
If you are facing problems with Firefox, I suggest you to post the question in this forum for better support.
