Glad that you got the maleware off your PC. I fired up my XP Box today
to do some scanning and was surprised when AVG ran a background scan and
reported a trojan buried in on of system directories... I've been
offline for almost a month now but did update AVG just before I pulled
the network plug on this PC - so maybe this was it's first time AVG ran
a scan since I updated it. I've mostly been booting into Linux and
running Vuescan but thought I might want to run Nikonscan since I was
scanning 120 film this evening. I managed to hobble along with Vuescan
though.
Cna you post or send me the links to the page with instructions on how
to run Nikonscan under Windows 7? I would have to add a fire-wire card
to my Win 7 machine for my LS-8000 but might want to try it out.

Took some aggressive hunting to find all of the instances where it had
it's hooks into my browser, including apparently it installed itself
into Internet Exploder, so I had to find it and eliminate it from there
as well before it would let go. Once I got it un-installed from
"Programs and Features", I ran regedit & searched for any of its aliases
there. Looks like I got them all.
Meanwhile ... I've got my Nikon Coolscan-IV up and running on this
system. Found the instructions on a Windoze7 forum with links to the
necessary .dll and .inf files. It requires a version of Nikon Scan that
was made for Windows Vista. I mention this because I remember several
other list members have Nikon Scanners.
Seems to be working well. I've started scanning old negatives,
particularly some of the rescued negatives & slides from when my
collection was almost completely destroyed by Hurricane Fran. It's not
much, but some of them might be usable. I already got something for the
May PUG.
