MC Just Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' date='Aug 25 2005, 01:50 PM']I run Cookiewall and Bugnosis continuously, Adaware and Spybot weekly, and had PC Trend Micro running when this infiltrated my system. My computer does not like Service Pack 2, and refused to let me install it.
