Windows XP - several problems

godzilla7

Number 1: I have the Windows XP Home Edition on my other computer. A few days ago I was on the computer and it said I was extremely low on disk space. I tried disk cleanup and it would not run. I have a 60 GB hard drive, and it says I only have something like 52 MB of space left.

Added to my USB drive; great for those housecalls where you never know what you'll find. . . Maybe if there's interest, I'll post a list of the utilities (freeware/shareware only) that I use for cleanup of spyware.

Was re-reading APK's Host file + dialup problems and started tinkering again. Would have done this sooner but I haven't used internet at home since 1998! Only at work or when I visit my paren'ts. Well I decided to hook up my cell phone to the 'net and surf, and what do I find but tons of ads! This immediately made ...

Whenever I attempt a screen change, from within any forum on NTC, SpyBot indicates that Avenue A. Inc is attempting to load. Is Avenue A on NTc by design?.

I have found that my computer has a lot of open ports. In command prompt I typed in netstat -a and a crap load of ports are open. Is that normal or is there programs that are running and keeping those ports open.

Now, THIS is why I don't use "Instant Messaging" apps

adamvjackson

Personally I use MSN Messenger, and I've found a super-easy way to remove the banner ad at the bottom of the contact list window, without the use of any 3rd-party programs. First, locate the following file: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\links.

Norton Internet Security

nbsmhutch

I am running Norton Internet Security Personal Firewall (2004). It is apparently working because I am constantly pinged with intrusion notices. I cannot surf for more than 10-15 minutes without being interupted by my firewall.

BHODemon 2.0.x & my feelings that MS should incorporate this into IE

adamvjackson

Heck, I say bring back the custom installation options from the 9x product family, so I can prohibit the installation of IE, at least as much as possible. After all, BITS can be used to get Windows Updates from an SUS/WUS server, so no need for IE for Windows Update(s).

Linux vs. MacOSX vs. Windows Security Ratings Read inside...

adamvjackson

Saw that on Slashdot yesterday. Bottom line, patch early and often, use a GOOD hardware firewall, and deploy an anti-virus solution. Also it doesn't hurt to have peer review/auditing of your network security, from a trusted source, of course.

svcinit.exe removal?

Tom-boy

Somehow I managed to get this worm. It's supposed to register keystrokes and send them out. So far, I've veen able to prevent it from accessing the net but I can't get rid off it. Virus scanner, Ad-Aware or Spybot won't recognise it, so I can't delete it.
