Just a little update ... I managed to get the malware off my computer without resorting to FDISK & starting all over again.
Took some aggressive hunting to find all of the instances where it had it's hooks into my browser, including apparently it installed itself into Internet Exploder, so I had to find it and eliminate it from there as well before it would let go. Once I got it un-installed from "Programs and Features", I ran regedit & searched for any of its aliases there. Looks like I got them all. Meanwhile ... I've got my Nikon Coolscan-IV up and running on this system. Found the instructions on a Windoze7 forum with links to the necessary .dll and .inf files. It requires a version of Nikon Scan that was made for Windows Vista. I mention this because I remember several other list members have Nikon Scanners. Seems to be working well. I've started scanning old negatives, particularly some of the rescued negatives & slides from when my collection was almost completely destroyed by Hurricane Fran. It's not much, but some of them might be usable. I already got something for the May PUG. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
