Hello folks,

Yesterday plugged in a usb drive with some type malware that took over my LL 3.4 64. Pretty sure it was this drive that started the problem. I saw an application running called image magic. It took over my settings and everything before I could shut down. After restart all of my settings had been changed. I found out this application is being used as a backdoor for other malware.

After reinstall from DVD notice the application is pre-installed in synaptic.

Should I bother to repair drive or should I save me a lot trouble and get new hdd?

Thanks
Shannon
