From my reading, there are - not unsurprisingly - variations of Apropos, and
the one that "AproposFix" (authored by "swandog46") supposedly handles, at least
to get Device Manager showing devices, is a beast, using rootkit techniques. I suspect
that we may not have seen the end of it either - more variations on the horizon?
One post down from yours in this thread, you'll see that poster "F15hii" has run
AproposFix and still has no operative device manager. I've held off posting the
compilation I mentioned, as I want to see what comes of F15hii's situation. Not
encouraging.
