Cool.

Thanks again for your time and help Ken.

It is always good to learn new things about my system and Windows. I'm amazed that there were not more serious issues. We purposely have used...

Fair enough, system seems to be working with a little more pep. I was on today in limited user account and didn't notice the wuaclt issue. We will see. I'm happy to know that this system looks to be...

Thanks Ken,

The i386 folder was present. Sorry. I found it after I posted that it was NOT present but before I ran Scannow a second time (actually third time-2 times 1st event and one time 2nd...

Made the necessary registry changes, ran Scannow without any popups but still nothing that states that everything was fine. Quite frankly, I do not understand it but...

:oops:

Sorry, I wasn't wearing my reading glasses. I thought you wrote "1386" rather than "I386" However, I am more familiar with "i386." In any case it is not on my machine. Going forward, I will...

Yes svchost is present in that folder. Where is the other folder, 1386, located?

Actually, I meant folder in the last post rather than file.

:confused::)

Ken,

Why is it that I don't have that file? My system came with a restore partition but no disk. Was the SystemLook search for svchost ok? I wanted to make sure that I didn't have a root-kit that...

BTW, its a three year system bought directly from IBM, completely refurbished. It is likely that IBM put in a new hard drive. Battery is starting to show some issues so..Sound was given me some...

Ran SystemLook twice with the following results both times:

Nope. The only time I have had a consistent issue(s) is past few months. It is a wonder this computer boots. I resell refurbs. It is also my primary computer. Probably not a good idea to test...

My computer is running much better. From time to time wuauclt and svchost (together) uses a lot of resources to the point that I have to wait until it is finished before I can perform any other...

I deleted Comodo. I will use Windows temporarily.Love Comodo Firewall, never liked the idea that you had to download their AV and Firelwall even if you only wanted to use the Firewall. I used it long...

BTW, I have followed your directions by not installing or uninstalling any programs or devices. One other thing, my computer will not shut down properly unless I exit Copernic first. I like the...

Thanks Ken,

I don't have two virus protections running. Comodo requires that you download both (firewall and virus protection) and then choose both or one or the other. Comodo is my firewall. I...

Do you approve the addition of this...

Thanks. I have just unselected Opera when I immunize and it finishes. I don't like the idea that I have to do that in order for it to work but that is life.

If at all possible, I would like a senior member here to confirm or answer my last question. Is this issue also present in Opera 12? I find this odd because I use Opera on a Windows 7 machine along...

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for your prompt reply and everything that spybot does for us. I hope to make donations to spybot when business picks up. I am currently using Opera 12.x. Does this apply to...

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum but not new to Spybot. I hope that you can help me and that I have placed this issue in the proper place. Thanks in advance.
