Last night I brought my work laptop home to do some work and I was getting an error about part of the wireless config was registering and starting correctly.  I figured it was my system and I worked on it without success last night.  Today I figured I would do a windows XP reinstall to clear the issue.  However when I got in this morning 2 or 3 other people have been reporting slow computers, programs not working correclty etc.  Has anyone else out there been seeing anything going on around them lately?  I have run the Blacklight root kit scanner.  A full McAfee system scan, Spybot 1.6 full scan and I am running a Trend Micro online scanner now.  Any other ideas?

hahahahaha

I wasn't referring to you and pr0n directly, just pointing out the exploits from the recent IE vulnerability. Which, BTW, Microsoft issued an emergency patch for yesterday. This vulnerability not only affects IE, but anything that utilizes the MSHTML rendering engine such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Word, or any number of programs that rely on the underlying IE technologies to perform some functionality.

I don't know if what you're experiencing is this or not, but you asked a question and I answered. Patch patch patch!

It's kind of new, so your AV/AS software may have not picked it up yet.

Well I got the issue resolved.  Turns out it was a Com+ component that was corrupted by an install of WinFax pro 10.  It took doing a system restore to a time before the component was distributed.  Unfortunately since the Com+ service couldn't start it couldn't do the system restore.  I found instructions online on how to do a system restore by copying the files manually.  It will only do the registry hives and not the DLLs that might have changed.  I used a Ubuntu live CD to do the copying.  If anyone is interested in more just let me know.  Just glad I didn't have to reinstall windows on all the systems.
