blasklist? and problems
Wednesday, December 10, 2003 by frikky | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When I log on the computer, a message says that some objects may not be something or something and that I can look at the 'blacklist.ini'. what is this and should I be delving into this for any reason? I said "no" this time and the cpu information object didn't show up, so I figure it had some problems. 
Also, I put the little Enterprise object that flies across the screen. Until this morning, it's worked well. Suddenly, it's been slow and it stops and starts. Hmmm. Then when I try to modify it or anything, the screen freezes up and I have to restart desktop or log off and then back on again. When I look at the running tasks, it says that desktop objects isn't responding. Anyone have an idea why this should be so irregular? Thanks.

oh, poor you. 
Yep, as Yrag said, blacklist.ini is part of a trojan that uses your PC as a relay to send spam. You need to take care of it -now-.

Just did a search of my files and that came up in my program files under desktopX and I just deleted it. Glad I saw this thread.
