I think your malware program is faulty:

1 UNREGMP2.EXE http://www.justtext.com/processes-tasks/unregmp2-exe.html

2 SHMGRATE.EXE http://www.justtext.com/processes-tasks/shmgrate-exe.html

3 REGSVR32.EXE Windows File

4 RUNDLL32.EXE Windows File

5 IEUINIT.EXE Don't know

Hello All,

I just did a clean install of Office 2000 Professional UPGRADE CD on a
clean install of WinXP Pro SP2 due to a purchase of a new hard disk.
There were NO previous installations of Office on WinXP since it was a
clean install. During the install of Office 2000 there was no request
for a disk of a previous version, and after rebooting my malware program
BOClean 4.24 indicated 5 malware / trojan horse files. They were as
follows:

1 UNREGMP2.EXE

2 SHMGRATE.EXE

3 REGSVR32.EXE

4 RUNDLL32.EXE

5 IEUINIT.EXE

If I recall correctly Office 2000 required registration, however this
was not the case after the install.

Questions:

1 How could the Office 2k upgrade CD install without requesting a disk
from a previous version when no previous version was installed?

2 Since BOClean was installed previous to Office and there was no
malware indicated, the 5 problem files / malware must have been
installed by Office 2k. Is there a problem with BOClean 4.24 indicating
trojans?

3 If no answers for questions 1 or 2, then what?

I'll do an upgrade on Office and I know Microsoft validates software
before upgrades, so I may have some indication of potential issues at
that time.

Any ideals? TIA!

I've forwarded the original post with the alert images. We will have to
see what Comodo / BOClean have to say.

Office 2000 does not require registration unless you purchased a version with SP-1 already installed.

Fine but what about question #1.

1 How could the Office 2k upgrade CD install without requesting a disk
from a previous version when no previous version was installed?

As I recall the Upgraded version required either a previous version
installed on the PC or the original install disk. This was a clean
install on a new hard disk. There was no Office product installed at
the time of the installation of the Upgrade version of Office 2k Pro.
