you should be able to get an internet connection via a Network lead to your router
wondered why its still only XP SP1 ?? and Internet explorer 6 , is it a dodgy copy of windows ??
if so you are probably wasting your time as it will probably get infected again
Thanks Browntoa, I will follow all of those steps later once the children are in bed and I don't have 'little helpers' :rolleyes:
Unfortunately I don't have a router
It is definately a genuine copy of windows but the automatic windows updates is switched off. I will sort all those bits out for her when I get it back to her house.
Really appreciate you help!It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission0 -
You say you haven't a router. OK. But do you have an Ethernet modem? Most modern version have a firewall (built in) that you could switch on. That will give you a bit more protection. If you don't, might be worth getting one because it makes streaming a lot slicker as a bonus. Most modernish computers have an Ethernet port. Prices start at around £25.0

just copy stuff to CD now at your place
this will do Xp SP3 in one hit without an internet connection when it's clean

not all McAfee seems to be there ?? according to the first entry
if its needs removing then use
Click on the following link to download the MCPR removal tool
http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
otherwise it's fine now to update that version of windows to SP3 and Internet explorer 7Ex forum ambassador

Thanks so very much Browntoa - much appreciated.
I did download and run that MCPR.exe to get rid of mcafee - I'll try running it again. Then I will update the service pack and make sure they have all the virus protection / firewalls loaded and know what they need to do with them! :rolleyes:It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission0 -
run ccleaner as well to remove all the old junk thats hanging aroundEx forum ambassador
