trojan.blusod knocked out screensaver

[cicero1]

Norton removed trojan but not before screensaver destroyed. No screensaver
tab left in Display. Windows XP keeps searching for screensaver and crashes
with multiple blue screen stops. Can avoid by manually sending system
into standby and avoiding screensaver mechanism. But how to repair?

Kelly is certainly a bright light indeed.

However, the self proclaimed "The Real Truth MVP" is by far NO angel.

He is a fake MVP, a liar and a plagiarizer. He has even plagiarized code from MS MVP
Kelly Theriot's web site, Kelly's Korner, and claimed he wrote it.

Please stay FAR AWAY from him, PCBUTTS1 and the PCBUTTS1.Com web site!

What code would that be David? Go ahead and post it. You are a liar and a
troll. Prove what you say. Ask Kelly. I know you wont post proof because
there is none. I will show just how much of a stupid liar you are in another
post. Kelly, sorry girl but that David troll just has to stop all these lies
or be called out on it. Now he has brought you in on it.

Say a prayer for Kelly and her family now. Hurricane Gustav made landfall
20 miles due south of their home this morning.
