I need help. I installed SP2in my computer about 6 weeks ago. When I first loaded SP2, I couldn't even get my ISP, AT&T, (Cannot display this page"). I fiddled (no offense to...) with the security settings, got Google, ATT, and a few others. I still couldn't get Symantec nor Microsoft, no big deal. I lost my Norton AV because I couldn't get on the net to re-activate NAV after the 55 hour power loss with Frances or Ivan, also Jeanne. When I do get something on the net it takes several minutes to load. I just asked Google for 'motel is Madison Georgia' and it took 4 (four) minutes to tell me it had 2.5 million answers in .29 seconds. I scanned the first ten and asked for page 2, forget it. After waiting 4 minutes the progress bar was less than half way. I have installed McAfee AV and antiSpyWare, both running and tell me the machine is clean. It was not for awhile, over 800 spams, over 250 worms and virus' later, also as many adware and spyware infections, almost all .exe files, I had to reload XP.
I have: MS XP Pro, ver. 5.1.2600, Via Technologies Sys Model VT8363
Processor X86 family 6 Mod Stepping 1 Authentic AMD 1302 Mhz
Bios Award 6.00 PG, 4-25-2002 SMBIOS ver. 2.2 Total Phys Mem: 512 MB
c 60 GB, d:\21 GB backup HD
I put SP2 in my wife's laptop a day or two later and STILL can't get anything on the net with hers and Norton keeps asking her to update every time she calls up a file, Symantec will eventually write her off like they did our desktop. Believe me, I need help.
Thanks in advance, Al
