List, I just started my machine after leaving it off while away from home. I noticed that when I booted the machine, right over the third? column where the devices are listed with there associated interrupts was a rectangular section colored green with four greek letters shaped like "Es" (I can't remember the name of the letter its been too long) spaced like this: E EEE. The machine hung after that and I was forced to reset the unit. When it rebooted, I got a bios checksum error so I restarted again and reset the bios to optomized settings and the machine restarted (didn't see the colorized box again though). It did kill my menu with my logout buttons and a couple of buttons some other panels.
I noticed that it took a long time for the file systems to be mounted and when it did final come up (> 1min) I logged in and opened gqview. The box locked up I tried the <Alt><SysReq> R,S,E,I,U,B key sequence but to no avail. I reset it. I'm back up and creating this document. My first question is obvious: How to get rid of the virus? How to check why the alt sysrqst key sequence isn't working? Thanks with Urgency, Terry P.S. I hesitate to go in as superuser, I don't know if the virus is scanning for passwords or not. -- Terence Golightly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mandrake 9.1 - 2.4.21-0.13mdk | Gnome 2.0 | Evolution 1.4.4 | Opera 7.11 AMD Athlon(tm) 1250mhz | nVidia Riva TNT Model 64 | Plextor CD-R PX-W1210A Maxtor 6Y080P0 80GB | Media Electronices CM8738 5 Channel Sound VT6102 Rhine II 10/100 Ethernet | Monitor Sony CPD-A200 ------------------------------Just a Newbieo----------------------------
