strange xp sp2 problem
On April 22 around 7 PM (EST), we had 6 pc's (all with sp2 installed) lock
up. They would boot up okay but freeze just before explorer.exe loaded (took log on okay and loaded wallpaper but no icons and ctr-alt-del wouldn't work). The only solution was to uninstall service pack 2. We have a network of around 220 pc's but only about 35 have XP, the rest are W2K). We use TrendMicro for email and desktop anti-virus. Because many of the XP boxes are for M-F users, I'm not sure if they are affected, too. Has anybody heard of a virus going around with a target/activation date of April 22? |

Yes, that was it, Ramesh. After posting the message, it struct that it all
happened on the same date around the same time. I figured that must have had something to do with a virus so I checked Trendmicro's site today and found that link. Man, that's pretty bad when an anti-virus company sends out a "virus!" "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote in message ...
