I made the mistake of letting a user on my computer. When I came back, I had to replace my back-up files, install my CD-ROM drivers, replace corrupted password files, and when rebooting, I was forced into Safe Mode because of a VxD Library problem in keefer. I used scanreg to fix, but I would like to know what keefer is so I can determine what he did to cause my OS not to load. If I can return using scanreg/ and fix the problem, then I will find out what he did in my computer to want it to crash. He had set-up his own dial-up,email, ect... then tried to eliminate my back-ups and prevent me from using a boot disk. So the question at hand is: "What is keefer?"

Ji,

OK, I did a fair bit of searching and found no references to keefer on the net at all (apart from people's names...)

Only you *know* the guy you lent the machine to, so is he the kind of person who would stuff up your machine so badly, intentionally?

The fact that he installed dial-up means he got to the net...

...that means you've got the possibility of a virus on your machine. That could well explain bad backups, boot disk disabling, corrupted CD drivers and password files....That all sounds like the work of a particularly nasty virus to me!

Run a virus checker on your system and make sure its got up-to-date signature files.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.
