| 845326 | 2010-01-05 06:00:00 | I would update the service pack, coz support for SP2 will die soon. And I would definitely update IE to 7 or 8. The only thing is with IE 8, IEPro doesnt work properly Uninstall ALL versions of Java, then update it. Its out of date. Hmm everything else looks OK. I wouldnt rely on Comodo's AV Mzee. If its installed. And if it is, I would uninstall it, if Avast is installed I think you might have two peoples posts connected here Speedy. :confused: Yes, I’m still on SP2 and will stay that way until it runs out. :) I’ve seen first hand on a couple of machines how SP3 and IE8 can bring a computer to its knees. SP3 also has the benefit of installing WGA :rolleyes: and that nearly drove me nuts. So I’m afraid I did a clean install, loaded SP2 and turned off updates. Life has been bliss since. (Well until the Virus) :D I don’t use IE although its there, firefox is my Browser of choice and I don’t have Comondo or Avast, as I’m still running AVG, so I think that reference may be to mzee’s post. Anyway, thanks again for your input Speedy. :thumbs: |

| 845327 | 2010-01-05 06:06:00 | Ah wrong. SP3 doesnt install WGA. Windowsupdates will, if you leave it on AUTO. Fix, put it on something else, then it wont automatically install everything. SP3 may screw things up, if you're using an HP system I've slipstreamed SP3, and it has never installed WGA on the system. And yup I was replying to Mzee about Comodo's AV |

That dreaded WGA would have been in one of the updates. Took some getting rid of though, almost as bad as the virus. :lol: |
