Windows

Thanks for the utilities piling in.

I did scan for malware while in safe mode.

I used Adaware, hijackthis, spyblaster, startuplist, counterspy, Symantic AV, and AVG AV.

I did find and clean off alot.

I manually cleared out the %temp% and rebooted.

I ran Nortons Winmanager and it found many issues.

Again, I get the system back Tuesday, so I can't give much more information until then, but I am starting to download all the utilities and planing my method of attack.

As this user is on the board of trustees AND the son of the owner/president, this is an important one to nail! Thanks again everyone!

regseeker helped me find in the registry under /usbprint/ the reference.

There are two USB printers (HP) and it is possible that one of them might not have been installed correctly (the home one done by the user, but I can't say that...).

I uninstalled both printers and the user will reinstall them both.

I will find out by the beginning of next week if this resolved the issue or not.

Thanks everyone!
