Title: OH GAWD NUKE IT FROM ORBIT AN XP INSTALLATION THAT HASN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE SP1
Post by: T234 on April 01, 2008, 03:08:57 PM: So, my uncle bought a copy of Norton, and his machine happens to need SP2 for it. I go through windows update, and the updater needs to be updated. His networking (EVEN ON A CABLE MODEM) is slow (1.5KB a second). I take a closer look at the desktop and this shit has mondo spyware. RARARAGGGH

I'm considering ubuntu for this thing.

Post by: BlueTsunami on April 01, 2008, 03:44:09 PM: This is why I've stopped whoring myself out as the "Family IT" guy. Its fun at first but then you realize you have to wait for 98 Updates to download and install at someone elses place. Fuck that shit.

But SP2 still needs to be installed? Argh, thats even worse. Waiting on the SP2 installer to do its thing is mind numbing.

Post by: T234 on April 01, 2008, 03:50:18 PM: The catch is, the spyware he has blocks the page that windows update goes to. His networking is so slow it makes it nigh impossible to download any anti-spyware programs as well. I managed to get hijackthis downloaded but I'm not far enough along to understand what to do with what the log details.

Post by: BlueTsunami on April 01, 2008, 03:51:58 PM: Sounds like you need to nuke the installation and reinstall XP. Trying to get a deeply embedded virus off a non PC savvy users computer is just postponing the inevitable.

:lol :lol I love it when they keep getting kicked out of R-rated movies.

My wife has had more dealings with Pentecostals than I have and from what I hear they believe some wacked out stuff. *shrugs* My only dealing with a (possible) pentecostal was when I was visiting my friend at this private Christian college I went to for a year. This guy comes up to us and starts telling us how he thinks Bill Clinton is the anti-christ and how we better be sure we've got our lives in order otherwise we're going to hell. After he left we both lulled and my friend was like, "well it was nice being condemned to hell with you, see later." :lol
