@Mike: Perhaps download Crap Cleaner and clear all the junk out?!??!?!!

That’s probably way to complex as he only has a Celeron 2.2ghz, 256 meg RAM, XP-Home SP3 that can barely run XP. :o

If I had a Celeron 2.2ghz with only 256 meg RAM I would stick to Win98SE. :wink:

6163

The processor is okay it’s the RAM that’s sub par.

I had a total of 15 updates for my XP SP3 and Office XP. It went smoothly.

6164

Why? XP with 256 MB RAM may be sluggish, but is still more secure than the no longer updated Win98 platform. ???

Not all Stuxnet-holes closed…!!
http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2010/10/11/october-2010-security-bulletin-release.aspx

Also of note, MS10-073 contains an update (rated Important) that addresses a local Elevation of Privilege as part of the two additional Stuxnet related elevate privilege vulnerabilities we announced in September. [u]The second and final issue will be addressed in an upcoming bulletin[/u].

Also interesting: MSRT on Zbot, the botnet in a box

Anyway, thanks for the info asyn

I’m not in the slightest surprised after all there were ‘only’ 11-16 security updates this month (depending on OS, etc.) ;D

MS have been notoriously slow with patches, you never know there might be an out of sequence security update if it is considered serious enough.

.NET has been a nightmare for me when on dial-up and only recently got broadband so updated to .net 3.5 SP1, I decided against installing .net 4.0, which is fortunate as it is this new one which is vulnerable.

If I had posted it other people will hit me why I’ve posted other AV updates!! :wink:

6173

Not me Omid i will never do that. I wont care as i got avast! a good free anti virus. But let keep this topic for updates please. :wink:

6174

Hmmm… You’re right. Sorry. I did not think on that.

6175

Thanks for the tip, Tech. I’d googled numerous times with varying results, but never before thought of including “reset” in the query. Doing it that way, the very first hit was for an MS Fix-It which did indeed fix things fine (probably a glitch in the registry).

Slow as molasses, as usual (I’m typically downloading from anywhere at MS at well under 10KB/sec – and that’s on broadband), but at least it’s working properly again.

There’s also an engine update coming 10/18

6177

Yeah, the new engine has a voice that says “I think I can, I think I can” as it chugs along in it’s painfully slow scans. ;D

6178

I don’t consider a scan time of one minute to scan 31,858 items “painfully slow”, You must be thinking of Norton.
