hi mitko,
i checked with my win.ini in postscript and i don't have anything like this after times new roman=times.
I can only surmise that everything after that is either a trojan, virus, or worm that has been written to your win.ini file, you should scan with a very good anti-trojan, anti-virus, and possibly download Worm Guard from TDS and scan your files. if its anything major any of the scanners will pick it up and delete this. good anti-trojans are Trojan Hunter, Tauscan, TDS, and BOClean. you may also want to try online anti-virii programs like house call, panda online, or download your latest anti-virus defs and scan your machine. hope someone reading this post can shed some light.
hope this helps,
murve
