I see you installed a new printer program ?

C:\P&PLUS\PNPLUS.EXE

not much in google on that..

and I think you really should upgrade to IE 6..

there are a bunch of things in your log that you don't really need running at startup, I would take the time to research them and disable via your msconfig startup tab.

k...I'd originally disabled the wvtol entry too..just put it back cos I thought I'd deleted everything related to Optix...*sigh* btw..how much does google pay you?:P,jk
n yeah,I'll be switching to IE6 pretty soon..thnx

[sumdumguy]

oh yeah.. one of the steps before running a hijackthis log (which i should of mentioned) is re-enabling entries in your msconfig so that hijackthis can see them.. also, making sure that windows explorer is set to view hidden files.. that one can be a killer sometimes if you don't.

and speaking of getting paid by google.. I did consider that.. google has an answers section and they DO pay experts to google and answer other's questions.. alas.. I really don't think I have what it takes to get a job there.
