i updated my windows XP home edition to service pack2, but i recently found out that my system32 folder is missing from C:WINDOWS.I also use search to look for it and i couldn't find it anywhere on My Computer.I have also been getting an Application error recently and i have noticed this after i deleted my AVG anti-virus (I'm not sure whether deleting AVG was the problem).The error says:"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.Sometimes the application is rundll32.exe, explorer.exe and when i turn on my computer it says that the error is userinit.exe at the welcome screen.

I am stingy and don't want to get another antivirus subscription for my gaming set up that i just built. How can i configure so that antivirus software in my current computer will reliably protect my gaming set up when logged on the net.
I am trying to decide to use either Grisoft's AVG AntiVirus (Free version) or AVAST AntiVirus. Which of these two are better?
I had Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional on my system, but Symantec refuses to reactivate it. I had a computer replaced (case/power supply, motherboard, and UPS) due to a lightning strike and now I cannot reactivate or use Norton AntiVirus 2004.
I am running win xp pro sp2 and have just installed norton antivirus 2005. NAV recommends i use it instead of windows for my default firewall protection. should i turn off the windows firewall and rely just on the norton antivirus, which checks for worms, trojan horeses, etc by default or run both
I've gone through all the microsoft fixes(??) and they haven't worked. Also, when I try to hibernate the machine if any programs are running it will say I don't have enough memory (I have 2GB in a Gateway 506GR, Pentium 4, 3400 Mhz running XP Home Edition). I run NOD32 antivirus.
The machine seems like it is running hard all the time but the CPU usage is usually only around 2 or 3 %. I'm thinking about putting in a larger hard drive and starting over completely. I backup pretty well (although not always often enough).

I need some real help here because I am baffled. I installed Panda Titanium antivirus 2005 on my bosses computer. When I went to restart it after the install it wouldn't restart it would get stuck at the blue welcome screen. Tried booting it into safe mode and it wouldn't even boot there. So finally I had to use the Windows XP disk and do a recovery. Well when I did that she lost all of her applications. I had to reload Office, Adobe, and it said that the Panda Antivirus was not installed correctly.So I tired to reinstall it and I get an error of Class not registered.I hoping not to have to do format and reinstall Windows Xp but I think there is some corruption in the computer.
I bought a new laptop a week ago and it came with Windows XP Home Edition. It also came with Norton AntiVirus already installed on it. I dislike Norton AntiVirus and decided to manually uninstall it. I went into regedit and deleted all Symantec and Norton files. Except for one file it wouldn't let me delete.A few days later (after I had no trouble installing such games as Starcraft, Blockland and Endless-Online) I tried to install The Sims, Lego Creator and some older games onto my computer from CD's. I got this message when attempting to install them
I absolutely hated Symantec which took a crap on me when a virus hit it and made it go whacky. I want to buy the software. What are your opinions and experiences with anti-virus software?
1. I am encountering a problem of Your system has recoverd from a serious error a log of this error has been created. It says that your antivirus or firewall is creating a problem. I am using AVG free 8 and ZoneAlarm free fire wall. 2. ZoneAlarm popup fequently says Prevalance reporter is trying to access the internet. Application is avgcmgr.exe. Should I allow or deny.
I have an eMachines T1150,1.3 GHZ Celeron Processor,with Windows XP.After probably picking up a trojan,or worse,somewhere,I did a system reboot with the restore cd.Then,with a dial-up modem,I downloaded EVERYTHING I was supposed to have,according to Bill Gates,from MS...XP Rollback gold,XP Service pack 2,etc.I mean everything...spent about 12 hours on-line yesterday doing it.Thank God for college football! This morning I go to Download.com and load the AVG Antivirus freeware,directly from the site.After it downloaded,I went to continue the install,and it froze.
I disconnected the power source,after waiting for 10 mins.,and when I turned it back on,XP would not load,not even by going back to "last configuration".Having to shut off the power to turn it off,so I could turn it back on,I now get a black screen,with "Operating system not found".I know,the solution is to go Linux,but I'm just not that savvy yet.In the meantime,does anyone have any ideas?
i'd jst like to know if eTrust EZ Antivirus (and also its Anti-Spyware and Anti-Spam) is a good option or not for regular use. And also is it a safer bet over Norton? have used it for barely 12 hours, so have no clue as to what its like.I know that Norton majorly slows down the PC and like tht but so far thats what im the most comfortable with. Ive used McAfee twice, for 2 months or so each time. It has let me down both the times, so looking for options apart from Norton. THough heavy on the system, i think its th best.Also, could someone help me with my graphics driver (+ virus) problem? posted the problem yesterday, emtronics has done his best to help me out but not much has really improved.. so if anyone else could also chip in and help me out.
I am using AntiVir Guard, is there something else more reliable?I am just curious on what anyone can suggest.I used to use McAfee, but then a common problem that a lot of people have been getting apparently. So it not only crashed my pc when it went out of whack it got so bad that i couldn't even get to the uninstall menu, it would kinda show...so i finally had formated my main hard drive, and completely wiped it out and fixed it. So for now I am just using a nice free antivirus program...Does anyone have a suggestion of maybe a safer one? Maybe something that would pick up on more virus protection.
A few days ago my Avast! Anti-Virus went off as to a malware/spyware saying it needed to be deleted. So I deleted the file which was "sporder.dll" WIth that my computer went haywire. It seems EVERY file needs sporder.dll to work. So I replaced the sporder.dll file by downloading it from the website suggested (dll-files.com). My computers programs work (i beleive) except now my wireless internet is running at little or no connectivity. I figured I might as well do a system restore, when low and behold, my computer cannot find the file rstrui.exe in the /system32/restore folder. I'm racking my brain here trying to figure out what to do. If I need to go out and buy a new XP system operating disk (i cannot find my original), and I have no clue how to fix my computer now. Any help would be appriciated.
Ive got a computer that will browse the net fine, but when i try to go to an antivirus site like "us.mcafee.com" or "symantec.com" or "us.mcafee.com" is this maybe some bad sypware or a virus?
I need links and advice for Hijack and any other program that can help remove Freepod.com from my machine. Im running XP Pro with AVG and also Adaware SEIve read a few forums online about removing freepod.com but they all seemed to be catered to freepod and other viruses that they had, im pretty sure all i have is

As soon as I load or search for antispyware software, my computer closes all open windows but doesn't shut down. I used to have Spybot S+D but now if I try to open it or download a new version I get the error message SETUP FILES ARE CORRUPTED PLEASE OBTAIN NEW COPY. In addition to this, I now have the virus known as IESECUREPAGE.COM.
I have recently installed anti-virus on my other computer. I turned it off last night and this morning I turned it on to find the mouse and KB don't work. I noticed the optical light is on until the windows loading screen shows up and then it immediately shuts off. I have looked in the bios everything is enabled, I tried to boot into safe mode and that doesn't work either, as soon as windows starts loading the mouse shuts off. I tried repairing windows and when it reboots to re-install, the mouse light goes off again. Later, an error pops up looking for a file iaStor.sys, which i cannot locate because my mouse does not work.
My norton antivirus kept pushing up warnings about mail not to go out.I tried to run a scan with norton antivirus and it kept locking up , so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it but it would not allow it to install.I uninstalled it again and downloaded rising antivirus and that froze up. I have a hp a530n 3200+ (2.00GHz) AMD Athlon 64 bit processor 1 GIG DDR SDRAM memory, Windows XP. I cannot access the tax program now . When I try system restore it just freezes up. I am not allowed in the help program. The computer is super slow in normal mode. I am running safe mode right now

I downloaded EZ Trust Antivirus 2005, but am not able to install it on my Windows XP 2002, Service pack 2, Dell Optiplex Dim2400. The original download was done on my personal desktop and then copied to "admin" desktop. The error message is "You do not have authority to run this program, please log on as administrator." This error appears even in safe mode and even when I am logged on as administrator.
