Then please go to the desktop and double-click on fix.reg, and click Yes to merge it with the registry. Next post a fresh Hijack this adn we will clean up whats left over

hi welcome to besttechie, I'm looking at your log and its a clean log, Kudos for that. Avg does scan for viruses on downloads, if it didn't pick it up at the time of download, then the virus didnt' come from a download. It appears you are using the windows firewall rather then a 3rd party softaware firewall. Windows firewall will not stop stuff from entering your comptuer as well as a third party one will. so that may be how it got in to your system. if you are still having problems with this situation, please do the following. open start hijack this, click on the Misc. tools button and then

sorry saw your request after I did he kill and new distro install.

actually i am downloading Ubuntu tonight, after i updated SuSE the other day, my cd Drive now opens up whenever it wants to, sometimes it happens when I click a link in the forums or click an app on the desktop, other times I don't have to click on anythign and it does it. I can't get a support ticket on it, becasue SuSE doesn't do support tickets unless you are using their paid for version. so its either live with it or find a different distro. Besides I have ordered the disks for Ubuntu soem time ago, now I'm waiting for them to arrive, which hopefully will be soon.

the problem is that it is a good printer, and works well in Windows, If I can't get it to work in Linux, then I will strictly do my printing from Windows. I got the printer for free, brand new still in its box. of course that was before I decided to dual boot with Linux, lol.

i need some serious help here. I have a Lexmark z25 printer, i downloaded the latest Linux driver for it but I can't get it to install or configure for my printer. I'm on SUSE 9.1 personal and have already unzipped the file as instructed, but the directions I got from lexmark aren't working. and I don't know much about doing anything in the root.

well yesterday I just installed SUSE 9.1, the install went very simple. and it supports most of my stuff, the only thing I can't get working at the moment is my Lexmark printer. I'm on a dual boot with two HDD's, and it also allows file swapping with Windows XP fairly easily, have yet to try an use WINE or similar on it. but IMO SUSE is a good program for newbies to get their feet wet with Linux. too bad they are a subsidiary of Novell Now lol

The "Mydoom" e-mail worm has returned. First discovered in January 2004, Mydoom became one of the top ten most prolific virus/worms of last year. Now anti-virus companies have reported a new variant of this mass-mailing worm. The variant is called "W32.Mydoom.AX@mm" and its discovery is one more example of why we encourage all our Internet users to install virus-scanning software on their computers and to frequently update their security software. (Note: Mydoom infects only Windows-based operating systems — not Macintosh, Linux, or UNIX systems.) The W32.Mydoom.AX@mm e-mail worm (also known

Close any programs you have open since this step requires a reboot. From the l2mfix folder on your desktop, double click l2mfix.bat and select option #2 for Run Fix by typing 2 and then pressing enter, then press any key to reboot your computer. After a reboot, your desktop and icons will appear, then disappear (this is normal). L2mfix will continue to scan your computer and when it's finished, notepad will open with a log.
