    No, that sounds like a virus. I would run a full virus scan with the latest definitions as well as running a few spyware tools like AdAware and Ewido.

    System Mechanic 6 will change those associations so that malware can't execute anything but on the downside when you try to add a reg entry it opens notepad instead...no it's not a fluke nor a virus, it's for security purposes but I think it's pretty useless myself.
