Thanks again Browntoa, this is going to be a long drawn out process as my dad is still on dial up:eek:

I will persevere and work my way through it:rolleyes:

worse case put the stuff on CD and pop back when you have it (if you on Broadband)....you can also do Service pack 2 on a CD for afterwards (that one takes AGES to download on dial up)

he needs all those updates to close all the security holes

He could have trouble fixing the R1's and R3 until he alters one of his spybot settings.

The 06s show that he has got spybots 'lock the homepage' set to 'on', he needs to turn it off before trying to fix the ie settings.


If you find that the spybot setting is already set to 'off', then those two need to be sorted or they will prevent some of the fixes.

the 023 can be fixed aswell, its part of a network driver, but is damaged.

In Internet Explorer click Tools - Internet Options - Advanced tab - untick 'Display a notification about every script error'. While you're there, also make sure the 2 x 'Disable script debugging' options are ticked.

there is no sign of antivirus or a firewall, we will fix that after the PC is clean

shouldn't that be the other way round? sort out anti virus an firewall before cleaning the PC otherwise you're running the risk of infecting it again inbetween.

XP firewall will go be on.....hopefully , will do the job until we get a real one on there !!
