Ok, I am sure I already read the answer to my question somewhere, but I don't find it anymore.

Can I find a list of the file type and application association ? My problem today is that on one of my user's account, "something" is starting Virex from time to time. I suspect one file type is associated with Virex, but I don't find which one.

Lets you go through the launch services database, that should help you figure it out.

You can also run
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -dump

At the terminal, which will give you a bunch of semi-readable text. That's the text representation of the data that RCDefaultApp works with. grepping that might give you the info you need.
