Skuzz,
I'm having a malware issue in my system and I know you or this forum are not here to help with it but I do have a windows question that has me stumped while Im trying to get rid of this damn thing.
I have an AMD 64bit system running winxp pro 64bit... I have SP2
In all malware guides I keep reading the service pack 3 is recommended to be installed to help fight this off but when I do automatic updates I never get the option to upgrade to SP3.
Is it not available for XP64-pro OS? Cant find this answer in the MS website either :(
-
You should stop fighting and reinstall the OS. AFAIK there is no SP3 for XP 64.
-
It'l come to that eventually. Im waiting for my new hard drive to arrive anyways.
no sp3 for xp64..thnx that piece of info was driving me nuts :)

Honest people that will help you clean your infected PC for free!!! I did it, and although it took a week, I am glad I did as it was easier to wait and see than to wipe and reinstall, restore, etc.

FYI XP-64 is based on server 2003.
SP3 is only a XP-32 service pack.

Fixed. After all this time no malware or antivirus would catch this little preek...
today, after a few hours of registry hunting I found it.
I killed it.
system runs smoothly now with no issues. URRAH!
