Pre-SP2 install clean-up

Snorky · 09-01-2005, 04:50 AM

Posted this question in the 'lodge' but it didn't like it and rejected me overnight (some problem with a data base excuse

) so thought I'd try here. I'm doing a cleanup before installing SP2 on my pcs and ran Ad-aware, Spybot, Trendmicro and Panda, Kaspersky which didn't work, and nothing was found. Tried Ewido and it found and cleaned 72 tracking cookies.

I'm just wondering now whether there's anything else to try or have I done enough cleaning.

Snorky:

Can you download hijackthis (link in my signature) and post a log so I can have peek in case something was missed.

After microbell looks at ur log, go ahead and install the sp2. I usually do it on a fresh format but just make sure u have a restore point and all should go fine.
