Want a scary thought?

While remotely cleaning a friend's computer, I found a trojan that was using
two dozen different methods to start up on boot. The global and per-user
Run registry key, Start on the start menu, an ActiveX object that
initialized on boot, a shell extension loaded by explorer, and...

...it *changed the file association of .exe files*. Instead of running "%1",
it ran trojan.exe "%1". The trojan started the real program after doing its
nasty stuff, so the user didn't notice.
