Thank you so much for the reply, we have been installing
through Add/Remove and there aren't any 3rd party print
drivers that i am aware of. However, when i went to the
Registry Key i found an entry that read something about
MSBlast and had the 'I love you San' line in it so
obviously that wasn't quite right. Our virus scan hadn't
detected anything but i ran the Blaster Worm Removal tool
and it did indeed find and remove it (including the entry
in that Registry Key). Once again thanks so much, i only
hope that this will help solve our problem.
