That indicates something else on your machine is launching it, and deleting it only blocked whatever else is on your machine from starting it again. No program, no matter how complicated, can magically start itself; something else must always start it. Virus and trojan programs typically do this by running several different very small programs that watch each other, and when any one program from the malaicious package is killed, the others restart it. > I installed it over a year ago, and I dont remember which mirror I > used. However, I did use the standard installer. This being new behavior after being installed over a year also points to something else trying to use xlaunch rather than xlaunch itself being the problem. > By the way, I did not quite understand about top posting . http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php#toppost > I am replying only to you .
