Maybe I have a “rootkit”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit and not a virus. Despite all my best efforts, I can’t seem to get rid of this thing that creates a six digit EXE in c:\windows\temp. Wikipedia actually says that if you have one, the best thing to do is to reinstall since a rootkit modifies so much stuff. Wow, this stuff is terrible. There is a free checker called “blacklight”:http://www.f-secure.com/exclude/blacklight/index.shtml, but the problem is that to really work, you need to boot from a CD and not run the operating system itself.

“Rich”, this is a comment on an older post that I can’t comment on through the site – permalink https://www.tongfamily.com/cgi-bin/mt-tb.cgi/1924
If you did purchase this product from crucial.com please send me a note at dsr16@cornell.edu. I have a couple of questions. Thanks.
what the hell, might as well upgrade to vista! ok you will still crash regularly but at least now you know why.
