Re: gcasdtserv.exe

I do not have SP2.

I installed MS AntiSpyware on 7 January 2005 and uninstalled it on 17
January, 2005.

I had to delete this crap from my registry that was left behind.

In news:AC477C25-4CEF-4BBA-826D-DA2B32D7FE44@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
jpChris <jpChris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
Hi,

I was using MS Antispyware until the version was replaced.

I tried to install the *new* version, but it requires XP SP2.

Unfortunately, I'm one of the few (million) that SP2 ruins my computer; no
matter how I try to install it (update, disk, slipstream).

I uninstalled the original, but in the registry there's over *60*
references to gcasdtserv.exe, and Microsoft Antispyware.

Question: Is it safe to delete all these entries from the registry? I know
to backup the registry before I do anything in it.

Thanks,
jpChris
