Microsoft Update Help????
Hi All,
I need advice on which microsoft critical update to
install ....
My computer is set to notify me before anything downloads
for the updates !
The problem is I havent installed SP3 yet so nothing
is comming for updates .
I have XP Home with SP1 & SP2
I also have IE7
My computer has not been acting normal for a while now !
I know there is something ( Adware ) in my restore point !
My Browser eaither shuts down Very Slowly or Just freezes
Up !
I have done several scans and Panda is the only one that
caught anything, but wont remove anything ?
Does anyone have any Suggestions ?
Happy Holidays To Everyone :)

Hi Train,
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while :o
I also let the computer go for a while because,
I wasn't able to get into safe mode, Nore
was I able to download anything :mad:
I am now back at it with a little more
patience, hoping I can get into safe mode !
I will post back this week sometime ...
I now need to use this computer more for
work projects, That needs to be turned in
in a timely manner , as I will be working
from home more often .
So Here Goes !
And Again,
Thanks To All Virtual DR members for all your help :D

Hi All,
I finally finished what Train posted for me to do for this problem !
Ok here goes ...
I printed out and followed his suggestion to the tee ...
Here is the logs !
Except for the SUPERAntiSpyware Log, it found a tracking cookie
But when I went to review the log it was empty:confused:
I am attaching the Malwarebytes log and the Hijack this log

Hi Broni,
I did the hjt and the two of them are gone :D
Ok what I wanted to know, is it possible for a
scan to give you a false positive :confused:
If I can dig it up , about a month or so ago
I did a scan ( dont remember which one off hand)
that came up positive for a virus in my restore point .
Now nothing comes up :confused:
Also my computer is still freezing up and still slow as all
get up !
Could McAfee be slowing my computer down ?
Also Trend micro free online scan Wont run for me eaither .
Any suggestions on this ?
Thanks Again,

Hi Broni,

Are you doing anything in particular, when it freezes?
Post some computer info: amount of RAM, HD size/free space.
I am just writing in ms word or following up on work emails , nothing
really tasking on the comp.
It constantly tells me I am low on windows virtual memory when in a word doc, or when typing in an email .
As far as my computer I have a 40 gig HD
About 1/2 of that is free space
Ram I dont know where to find.
Also I have roxio easy cd creator Plat.5
I was wondering , could ( I think its Direct CD or Take One)
is not supposed to be installed , I think I heard they dont
function properly , and I know they are still on my system .
Can that slow things down too, to where it acts funny ,
freezing and extremly slow starting up and shutting down.
Thanks Again,
Night_skies
