iSync plugins
Oct 17 2009

JSLATER  Doesn't work on Snow Leopard like the site says. When you check which phones are supported, it lists Snow Leopard capability, but iSync opens with a warning that the plugin isn't compatible and quits.

JSLATER  According to Intego

"Use the NetUpdate X4 program to update your Virus Definitions. The latest definitions should no longer have this problem."

JSLATER  The virus doesn't exist. Look up the virus on Google. Read the other review thread.

If you're concerned, then delete the file, create a text file (not RTF) containing

#! /usr/bin/python

"Kill then HP printing daemon"

import sys, re, os

os.environ['PATH']=os.path.normpath(os.environ['PATH']+':/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current')

b = 'ps -x | grep Communica|grep HP'

a = os.popen(b).read().split()

print a[0]

os.system('kill ' + a[0])

Read the README file to chmod it, then download MacPython 2.5 and use Build Applet.app to make hpkill.app from hpkill.py

You probably don't need that entire path in there. It's legacy from another script I wrote a while back. It doesn't cause any harm, though, since I don't even have some of those directories anymore.

JSLATER  I agree. The script is designed to kill off a system process, so that may look unfriendly to a virus scanner. Apparently there is a way to modify it so it doesn't look so, but I don't know how to do that. I've read that that virus scanner is a little psychotic.

JSLATER  I just updated because hpkill.app was broken. After that, I ran virex on the whole thing and it didn't report anything. I'm not sure how a script file could really have much of a virus anyway. Anyway, please try the new version with your virus scanner.
