| Hi Taurian: Since this is the place to learn about problems, here goes a stupid
| question :) How do you get your AV to lock the registry? If and when I decide
| to download and install will turn off AV+Firewall/Antispyware progs during
| install and re-enable when done.
|
| I have Panda AV+Firewall 2008, I've looked around in that program and don't see
| an option for locking the registry. I'm new to Panda, so maybe that's why I
| can't find it yet. Never had trouble finding things in Symantec, Trend Micro,
| AVG etc. I see a blurb when something tries to change the registry, so I can
| handle that-thank goodness. I defrag once a week along with AV scans,
| antispyware scans etc ( AdAware 2007 *yuck*, Spybot, Panda info above plus real
| time antispyware with it, Stinger if I ever need it, Phil's program if I ever
| need it, and many others plus I use online scanners as well to double check my
| AV ad nauseum).
|
| I never had any trouble with any of the other SP's, completed on 3 computers, so
| should I expect some with SP3, since I've already read the recommendations of
| how to prepare for the download at MS' Help and Support page, and none of it
| *seems* to apply to me, or I've already completed the rec's? I'm a fanatic
| about Virus, Antispyware, Rootkit scannings and have only picked up a couple of
| things in 5 years, but my AV handled them.
|
| Can you tell me if there are any new IE7 updates in SP3 that are important? I
| have all that were released so far.
|
| TIA
|
| Win XP Home (all critical and non critical updates applied-always) Have Auto
| Updates turned off, just in case:)
| IE7 plus all updates
| 60 GB HD with 70% free
| 256 MB of Memory (not enough)
| SP3 on MS Office/SP2 on Windows
|
| If you need more info on computer let me know.
