Uninstall Norton and Windows Defender.
Get a plain antivirus. Use the built-in Windows XP SP2 firewall.
At least:
Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".
Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot will be needed.
- Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://download.windowsupdate.com/Wi...gent30-x86.exe
(You *may* need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce"
right after the reboot - immediately after logging in.)
- Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...9-404327772E5A
- Reboot.
- Visit
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates.
- Come back and let us know how things went!
