"Missing Microsoft Security Hotfixes"!

WinXP home, SP2, OE6, IE6

Hello, I ran Belarc Advisor to get my compputer specifications, and found to
my horror that it shows 51 "Missing Microsoft Security Hotfixes"!!!

I can't understand why since I have automatic updates. How can I find out
why this happened and how to fix this matter?

Thank you so much for any help! Adela

P.S. Is there a forum for windows security or "hotfixes" updates?

You only have SP2. That's a whole service pack missing at least. Any
special reason?

Belarc Advisor - great application - but not definitive when it comes to
Windows Updates.

I have cross-posted this response to microsoft.public.windowsupdate for you.

You may be infested/infected with something. My suggestion may seem long -
but it is quite simple and usually very beneficial in more ways than one.

First - before anything else - answer this:

Do you have an HP branded computer with an AMD processor?
(If so - answer and wait. If not, answer and continue with the steps.)

Fix your file/registry permissions...

Ignore the title and follow the sub-section under "Advanced Troubleshooting"
titled, "Method 1: Reset the registry and the file permissions"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377
*will take time
(** Ignore the last step - you'll install SP3 shortly, but not now.)

Reboot and ...

Download/install this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

After installing, do the following:

Start button -- RUN -- type in:
"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Installer Clean Up\msizap.exe" g!
-- Click OK.
(The quotation marks and percentage signs and spacing should be exact.)

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan (separately) with the
following two applications (freeware versions are the ones to use for this):

SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/

After performing a full scan with one and then the other and removing
whatever they both find completely, you may uninstall these products,
if you wish.

Download and run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

Reboot.

Download/Install the latest Windows Installer (for your OS):
( Windows XP 32-bit : WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe )
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/d...displaylang=en

Reboot.

and...

Download the latest version of the Windows Update agent from here (x86):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
.... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After saving it to the root
of the C:\ drive, do the following:

Close all Internet Explorer windows and other applications.

Start button -- RUN and type in:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
-- Click OK.

(If asked, select "Run.) -- Click on NEXT -- Select "I agree" and click on
NEXT -- When it finishes installing, click on "Finish"...

Reboot.

Then follow the instructions he

How do I reset Windows Update components?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

Reboot.

Now for SP3...

1) Download the full SP3 installation file.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for
IT Professionals and Developers (works just as well for you.)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...8-1E1555D4F3D4

You are just saving it right now - not running it yet.

2) Ensure (as well as plausible) you have no spyware/malware by doing a full
scan with SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes. If you are following
along, you have already done this!

3) CHKDSK
How to scan your disks for errors
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265
* will take time and a reboot

4) Defragment
How to Defragment your hard drives
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314848
* will take time

5) Ensure your hardware drivers are up to date (from the hardware
manufacturer's respective web pages.) Never get hardware drivers
for hardware that was not created/sold by Microsoft from Microsoft.

6) Reboot right before you try to install SP3.

7) Disconnect from the internet before installing (physically disconnect -
pull the network cable or disable the router/modem.)

8) Disable your antivirus and antispyware applications when you are about to
install SP3. Usually right-click on the icon in the taskbar gives you
a choice to do so.

Install SP3 by running the downloaded executable. Reboot when requested to
do so. Logon and let the machine 'settle' for about 10 minutes. Reboot.
Give it 5 minutes after logon to 'settle' - reboot.

After that - there will be more updates.

Log on as an user with administrative rights and open Internet Explorer
and visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and select to do a
CUSTOM scan...

Every time you are about to click on something while at these web pages -
first press and hold down the CTRL key while you click on it. You can
release the CTRL key after clicking each time.

Once the scan is done, select just _ONE_ of the high priority updates
(deselect any others) and install it.

Reboot again.

If it did work - try the web page again - selecting no more than 3-5 at a
time. Rebooting as needed.

The Optional Software updates are generally safe - although I recommend
against the "Windows Search" one and any of the "Office Live" ones or
"Windows Live" ones for now. I would completely avoid the
Optional Hardware updates. Also - I do not see any urgent need to install
Internet Explorer 8 at this time.

Seriously - do all that. This is like antibiotics - don't skip a single
step, don't quit because you think things will be okay now - go through
until the end, until you have done everything given in the order given. If
you have a problem with a step come ask and let someone here get you
through that step. If you don't understand how to do a step, come back and
ask here about that step and let someone walk you through it.

Then - when done - let everyone here know if it worked for you - or if you
have more issues.

Hi PA, sorry for my irate response that you'll see on OE forum. )

As to this problem, after Shenan's post I realize that it must be that I
refused to install SP3 because I heard/read many users' complaints after
they installed it. But if it's that important for security then I guess
I'll have to install it. Thanks for crossposting. I'll study the link you
gave me here and will see what I can do.

Thanks again. Adela

Thank you very much Shenan, you made me realize that this is caused probalby
because I refused to install SP3 after hearing/reading many complaints from
other users who did install it. But, as I mentioned to PA Bear, if it's
indispensable for security reasons, I guess I'll have to do it. Thankd for
crossposting too.

I also thank you for the extensive instructions to try to fix this, but I
wonder, do you think that perhaps it would be easier to install that SP3
after all?

Will appreciate your opinion. Thanks again. Adela

Thank you PAB, you're right about installing SP3 now. The links you gave me
about the matter are very useful, i.e., it said for IE6 users to install
XPSP3 to cover all updates retroactively, and hope I understood this
correctly.

One thing worries me is that I may not have enough resources in my RAM and
HD, but I'll have to go back to your useful link and find out more
carefully, as well as check my resources too.

Oh so the answers in the crossposted forums will be the same in all 3? Then
I'll remain in this one, although just for my records, do you have the MS
windows update forum handy? Adela
