thanks, yeah i've seen that 'solution', and apparently CIJScannerRegister.app comes back, after being deleted. there should be an easier method to disable rogue processes, instead of having to hunt through OS directories, searching for system files to delete.

a permanent fix from Apple isn't too much to ask, they've known about it long enough.

You are welcome.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

i'm not sure how your answer 'solved my question', it did not. did you flag it as solved, Eric? i certainly didn't.

no matter, i've downgraded to Snow Leopard, it's more reliable.

No, only the original poster - you in this case - can award points or else the Apple support software is wonky again, as it tends to be from time-to-time.

tech --

It's pretty obvious that you are beyond annoyed by this problem. We are all other Mac users trying to help each other share solutions. So your attitude towards Eric in uncalled for.

First of all something put that driver on there. It was either you, or another app that includes the driver. It was not Apple that put it on there.

Secondly, no one but the Original Poster can mark a post as solved or helpful. It seems that it is all too easy for new original posters to work the rating system correctly. At any rate, it certainly wasn't Eric's fault.

In the thread that Eric linked for you, there are several new responses to the situation. Did you try the last one using Terminal? Also, if that driver is listed in the Login or Startup perferences, you need to delete that plist first. Other wise it will come back, because it's scheduled to startup.

You're welcome.

Do you use iBoost.com, of any of these Co. apps?

The identifying code tells you it didn't come from canon:
