Hooray! Happy computer ping!
I hope you're not running more than one virus program at once. They tend to interfere with one another and it's definitely not recommended.
they don't run at the same time
I will try that.....I see it in a bunch of Hijack this logs from other people, so it is suspcious since people have told others to remove it.
I just like to be extra careful before I delete something; it has been especially hard finding out just what it is exactly, but whatever it is, I see no reason to believe it is a legit autoupdater....it is not from my Norton or anything.
That's why simply changing the name to something with .old at the end is preferable. Also, reply #117 by edchambers has some good advice for doing the detective work on trying to find out exactly what the hell it is.
I took the plunge to SP2 and haven't had any problems. SP2 will let you use ZoneAlarm as a firewall, so you don't have to use Windows' built-in firewall (which I don't trust).
