www.neuber.com

Thanks.

682470 2008-06-29 11:40:00 Yes thats right - but If you notice what it says at the beginning.


Note: The wuauclt.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, wuauclt.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!

In other cases..........

682471 2008-06-29 11:43:00 Yes, I understand it being in S32. xD Stupid Microsoft! JOEJG (10295)
682472 2008-06-29 11:55:00 ? that is the original filename that Microsoft called their windows update file which is perfectly legitimate and resides in that location.

All other files of the same name in other places are only the same in name - they are a Trojan or virus etc that use the fake MS filename as a cover.

Tho I'm not huge fan of MS or anything, I do fail to see how they become "Stupid Microsoft" in this case

682475 2008-07-02 20:28:00 Cool, the other day I ran that Avast in SAFEMODE and with a deep scan, it found 3 viruses right at the start in the WINDOWS System Volume - I think thats what its called? So today I booted up and went from 900 MB of space to 1.2GB which I'm pleased about.

Thanks.

Thats the system restore folder.

Disable system restore. If you have XP Pro, go to tools / folder options in my computer / untick hide protected system files. Highlight the system volume info folder / right mouse properties / security tab / click on add.

Type in the name that appears when you click on start. Click on check names. If the name is right it'll complete it. Tick everything under allow.

Then OK. Then you should be able to get into the system volume info folder.

Delete everything in it.

Then enable system restore again. If you want to use it

If you have XP Home, you'll have to do the above in safe mode

682478 2008-07-04 18:48:00 Yeah, I will do it tommorow so I don't do anything foolish (tired, you see.)

I have XP Home and now my C drive has 1.50GB! I don't know why but its just gone-up again. I think Avast has done me proud so far. :)

Edit: I will get rid of Norton. I've had it for years and have been paying the yearly fee but now I feel I do not need it. The renewal of the subscription is arriving very soon also, so I'll just decline.
