Re: Installing Legit Win2000 Pro SP4, but getting 2 Trojans every time.



Alan,

Install behind a router.

Because this acts as a firewall?


Are you sure the cd is legit?

99.9% sure. It was a copy of a legit Win2000 Pro SP4 golden colored CD. I
seen the original as the copy was handed to me, immediately after my friend
burned it from the original. I didn't witness the burn, so I can't be 100%
certain.


You don't need any 3rd party application to stop a Service.

Right-click on Taskbar, select Properties, select Advanced, select
"Display
Administrative Tools" and "Expand Control Panel".

Now for any Service such as Messenger just goto
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services to stop a
service and mark it as Disabled.

Ok, thanks. "Shoot the Messenger" is just very convenient, and easy to use.
It's a quick way to check, and modify, that particular setting.


Just be sure you check that there are not any services that depend
on the service you are stopping.

I don't think the messenger service is insecure -- it's just annoying. I
just shut it off, anyway, just in case. That's the only service I was
interested in stopping.
