TWO PROBLEMS WITH XP SP2
I have noticed two problems with the update:
1: The Windows firewall is constantly getting shut down- can't figure out what is shutting it down, so I am constantly running spyware and adaware to check for what's going on. I'm getting ready to put Zone Alarm back on if I can't figure that one out. 2: To go to the help/support center and try to check "windows Update"- it hangs when it says "checking internet" It worked for about the first week and seemed to stop working after about 2 weeks of frequent update notices. After not getting any notices for about two weeks, I checked and found it was not working. I can still go to microsoft.com and force it there, but its the start/Help&Support route that has stopped working. Anyone have any suggestions as to the fixes?? Thanks Paul |

TWO PROBLEMS WITH XP SP2
cannot find it..... (AOL SPYWARE runs in background, ran adaware, also
installed winpatrol many months ago before problem started. What other spyware checkers are recommended? I've seen others that tell you you have 14,000 pieces of spyware that they want you to pay $40 for, then it screws up Windows media player, MS Word, etc..... Thx.
