How to delete extension.

[kamagiseung]

Recently, I had to restore my G4. However, a new extension keeps appearing in my Extension Manager folder. it's called '666'. I don't know where I got it from and no matter how many time I trash it completely, when i restart the computer, it appears again. I think that's causing the problem on my G4 to crash. Does anyone know how to uninstall that extension permanently? Please help. thank you.

It's a virus. Try and run Norton Anti virus. It has some thing to do with Desktop Printing.

If you cant trash an extension, try booting form a CD (like the Apple Restore CD you got with your G4) and then delete it.
However, judging from the name of that file, I would also say you have gotten a virus - so get NAV or another good AV-program, and get that one to deep-clean your Mac. When privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy!

666 is a virus (of course) and a good virus scanner will clean it up, in the mean time if you make a folder called 666 in extensions, no one can make a file with the same name I love everyone til they prove otherwise, sadly some prove otherwise SO quickly
