I've been trying to get in touch with the Tool as to either relaxing the 10,000 character restriction on my post, or being able to bump up a follow up post to sit right after the original


Already asked, no answer....

Re: Windows Updates

"Let it scan your computer once more and then install all updates from here".

There are mixed opinions regarding this issue. Some regulars on other quality forums

do, some don't...The main view is that if you have a software firewall and AV

installed, updated at all times and properly configured, coupled with a hardware NAT

and SPI enabled firewall router, there is no need for updates, especially IE updates.

Re: SP2

I concur.....

Re: Virii:

Always disable System Restore prior to running an AV scan!!!!!! Re-enable it after if

you wish to.

Common sense is cool, however, sense is not common......LOL

One last thing about virii is to dl, install and update, very regularly, McAfee's

AVERT Stinger, located at the following link. It sorts the men out from the boys: -

Re: Adware/Spyware

Once again, disable System Restore prior to running any scans and re-enable it after

if you wish to.

Also, if you want to dl M$ updates, patches, etcetera, then you will need to use IE.
