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:

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.

However, before you perform the upgrade on Windows XP site, back up important data to another location as disc CD/DVD, USB etc.

InDesign can't open "old files" CS6.
I had to make some adjustments in a project, I opened before and was working a lot... (2 months since the last time I worked with this project) When I had to make some minor corrections etc. on this project yesterday I can't open the file. The project he auto are only on the 8900 kB. What to do? I can open my projects recently "newly" made and used... Ive tried a few other projects which was also old, every 2 to 6 months old... And it's just randomly witch I open it and the witch 'cannot open '...
This is the error for CS6.
This is the error for CS 5.5.
If you go out a few suggestions of scream! Will try what worked before... (If someone had this same problem atleast!)
Sincerely,
David
First of all, a tip: try breaking manually links to the file by moving this document you want to open on your desktop or another directory or such and then try to open the... (corrupted image previews and/or images may then be largely elminated as a potential cause)
As @Peter mentioned, we (Markzware - link here for how it works) can probably repair this file. Interesting notes of @jongware above. Without having seen this file, our research shows there are variety of reasons an InDesign file can head South and corrupt or crash on you. Just as a doctor cannot always say what has caused the problem, there are some basic steps that we should take. For example, OS updated, using the latest available update InDesign, enough disk space and disk for Adobe scartch space heavy design operations. Here is a list of some of the most common problems with bad INDD documents:
* Corrupt police (or corrupt fonts (see below) caches
* Corrupt or images
* Power failure
* Place images by drag - move a Web page
* Working on a file, InDesign via a network or on a remote server
Here is a video on how to approach caches of fonts with InDesign, which is good once and awhile, anyway:
http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Nf5ZuiaYgus
To check the files of individual fonts (fonts are like mini apps really), we recommend FontExplorer XPro or Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4, the latest may be the more popular of the two.
You can contact me on [email protected] if you need assistance with us trying to recover your file InDesign CS hurt more. We also have a PDF file to the conversion tool InDesign called PDF2DTP if you have a PDF file.

I used to be able to click on MP3 files, the way back when, and Firefox asks where I wanted to save. Nowadays, it opens a new tab with a flash drive.
By clicking on the "unknown" files, like .sid, .prg, .zip, .rar is ' this is a BIN file. [Cancel] [Save] ». It does not give me a check box for "always do this".
I would like that option to edit so that certain types of files, such as PDF, regardless of mimetype, always get opened in a new tab if you click. Also some types of files, based on the extension, always go directly to the dialog box "Where you want to save the file?", without worrying if there is a viewer or a builtin player or not. In my Firefox (41.0.1 14.04LTS 32-bit Ubuntu) I have never the choice "do this for these files always" more.
Googling led me to delete my file mimeTypes.rdf and since file extensions can even "well known", such as .zip, are treated as BIN files and I get the box Cancel-or-Save for those too - again without the choice of "always save the BIN files.These files are send as Content-Type: application/octet-stream and Content-Disposition: attachment;
To send files in this way, you cannot save an automatic action.
You can see that in network monitor.Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="TURRICAN_AMIGA_PORT.sid"; Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Whenever I launch Firefox 20 Mac OS X 10.7.5, I get the warning message by clicking "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? ». How can I stop this? There are displays on internet and previous assignments on this resolution by using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a problem of Firefox ONLY, and resolve by disabling the recommended world of security features to OS X, as before in a previously closed thread appears as a solution really BAD. Is there a "Firefox" solution only, or I will have to just to stop using Firefox?
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.
