I wanted to index the whole content of my files (exactly like Google.com). There was a plugin for Google Desktop to search and index C and PAS files in a special way. I hoped it will be more easy to search my files in this way.
Sorry for the language. I was so mad that such a big company can produce such A LAME software. I had a small virus (NAV was unable to detect it) yesterday that used a rootkit to hide itself. Nothing serious. I spent 10-15 minutes to remove that malware using FilemonNT, a firewall, a registry monitor, the RootKit revealer and a DOS (cmd) box. Also yesterday I had that problem with Google Desktop and I spend hours to repair the main problems and I still have some. I've tried in lots of ways to repair all damages but because the lack documentation (thanks Google again) it was impossible. Sorry again. --------------------------------------- Anyway remember my warnings: it is much better to bring a virus in your computer than Google Desktop. --- Robert Meek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Human, > Offensive language is NOT tolerated on any of the Lists.
