Hi,

If you check back here on this thread you might search for the items on your list at this site :

http://www.lafn.org/webconnect/mento...p/PENINDEX.HTM

Some are listed as Users Choice - personally I have NWIZ enabled as I developed display errors after removing it ... though not suggesting you would.

If you receive an E-mail with an attachment from pac.man@ntlworld.com or pacman@pacs-portal.co.uk it isn't from me. It's most likely due to somebody elses PC bring infected with the NOVARG.A VIRUS which uses valid E-mail addresses. In the last 12 hours I've seen nearly 200 E-mails as such.

If you are a regular visitor, click HERE to go straight to the list...

Last update :- 22nd January, 2004
4196 items listed



This is the latest Update from Paul"Pacman" Collins site that Tony Klein & The Techs recommend to us when validating Hijack This lists.
Its worth remembering.

You should also run Ad-Aware and delete BackWeb.

If you delete backweb, some applications may no longer work. Kodak uses backweb for auto updating and quality assurance.

Also, I'd leave hkcmd,Logitray for your keyboard,
hpmon05,hpupd05 for your printer,
nwiz for your vid card, can be disabled through display properties if you wish.... at least for the newest drivers...

Thomas Jefferson

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters ... but they mean to be masters. "
