WIN2k Installation Help!!

[Guest]

Hello All,

I installed windows 2000 professional on a new HDD, 20GB Maxtor, from a
healthy installation cd.

When the installation was finished, i thought of installing the blaster worm
patch, but instead of blaster worm activities i found many process listed as

ADmangr, ADmankeep, admanstats and many different folders, even though i
didn't connected my machine on the internet or had nothing installed apart
frm the OS. it also showed me a Power scan thing in the startup and in the
program files folder after installation of win 2k profesional.

any idea what it is? and how to get rid of this??

I installed service pack 4 straight away from the windows update site but
that didn't helped, do i need to install all the service packs one by one or
can i install SP4 directly.

any help what this admankeep etc. is and how to get rid of it

Thanks and regards
Mutahir

Mutahir,

The ADman... stuff appears to part of a spyware package, you need to install
an anti-spyware tool to remove it (you can try AdAware, Spyboot, or
Microsoft's beta Anti-spyware tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en).

Regarding service packs, they are cumulative (so Service Pack 4 contains the
fixes from Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3) so you
don't have to install an earlier service pack before installing a later one.

Hope this helps. Thanks.
