Re: Need pc cleanup help after some cleaning

Thanks for everything. I've uninstalled ComboFix and cleaned out the Housecall quarantine. The other things I will have to do later as I don't have the time tonite. I'm assuming this post will stay up for a while so I can find it to complete the other items.

One last question - Do you recommend a stand-alone firewall be installed in addition to the A/V and anti-spyware programs? I was looking at putting either ZoneAlarm's free edition or Comodo. I know WinXP has the firewall built-in but wondered if it's a good idea to add additional protection.

Also, on a sad note. I installed the 256MB memorystick today (which I thought was the correct type), but Windows starts to boot and keeps going back to the setup screen and I installed just that stick and it wouldn't boot. What was weird is that it was recognized in bios. Anyway, I pulled it and added a 64MB one I had laying around and it works. I know it's a different topic, but thought I'd mention it in case there is a setting or something to get it to load, but I'm guessing I bought the wrong memory or it is bad.

Thanks again... I guess I'm done.
