    Once SP3 is installed you should start receiving updates again, although there may be quite a few initially.

    Any problems, post back.


    When you've installed SP3, do this.

    Download SecurityCheck from the link below and save it to your Desktop.

    Link
    • Double click SecurityCheck.exe
    • Follow the onscreen instructions inside the black box.
    • Notepad should open automatically, called checkup.txt
    • Post the contents in your next reply.

    uninstalling za/forcefield, rapport and spybot should show an immediate improvement.

    Unless you need them running all the time, use the startup tab in msconfig (start, run, msconfig )to disable these items from running at startup (they can always be run manually if needed). When you reboot after doing this, you will get a prompt about selective startup - tick Don't show this message or launch the system configuration utility when windows starts,and click ok
