One is the keylogger I mentioned in the OP. The other is a virus called "koobface." Not sure which one I caught, since the machine blew up before I could read the virus scan.<BR/><BR/>I'm probably going to yank a hard drive from another machine and see if I can boot. That ought to indicate if it's a boot sector problem.Avouzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819593963802415158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302539560965557171.post-6255240651787196052008-12-05T10:09:00.000-05:002008-12-05T10:09:00.000-05:00Doubt it was the keylogger, but rather that it set...Doubt it was the keylogger, but rather that it set of a chain of events.

Thing doesn't even boot up now, just flashes drive lights and makes a clicking noise.<BR/><BR/>Still no idea how a keylogger could kill my machine like that.Avouzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819593963802415158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302539560965557171.post-23786416544315738642008-12-05T10:00:00.000-05:002008-12-05T10:00:00.000-05:00Crap.
