USB Autoplay Action List dilemma

whizkid25 · 30th Sep 2006, 04:44 PM

Hello all. I recently found an odd selection for the autoplay list of my USB thumb drive. At first, I thought it could be some glitch, so I tested with another thumb drive and the same thing happened. I tried searching on the web for some info and figured that it had something to do with the registry. I went for regedit but failed. I've attached a screenshot below. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I can barely see.

Looks like one of your installed programs. Could be spyware?

Oh sorry. It just shows some weird characters and below saying using <need provider>. I've already scanned my comp. and its clean...and least I think it is. Could this be a hardware problem?

Google the "weird characters" to see if you can find a hint.

Hey, nothing to worry. I doubt it is malware related.

I just found out the problem while I was on the other partition of my comp. doing the updates etc. When I updated Opera to 9.02, the same thing occured, that weird action was also in that list now. So, could this be that Opera is adding something?
