What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

Running xp pro, sp2. It does run, but some things that I want to do
don't work. In looking into these, I find a number of problems. In
particular, WMI ...
When I open <network connections - properties> for the LAN adapter,
it takes about two MINUTES for the dialog to come up. It takes as
much time again to open the 'advanced' tab. When that does finally
open, it just shows the message ...
" Windows cannot display the properties of this connection. The
Windows Management Instrument (WMI) might be corrupted. "
Pursuing this, the WMImgmt service is indeed stopped, even though
it's set for 'auto'. When I try to start it manually, it gives the
error ...
" Could not start [WMI] service ... error 126: specified module
not found "
And, a possibly related factoid: the (system) event log has a lot of
boot-time errors of this sort ...
" The server {8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820} did not
register with DCOM within the required timeout>
, which google hints is a WinMgmt error.
Stuff like that.
I am somewhat out of my depth on this. Any insight would be
appreciated. Even, just as to whether I need to re-install xp,
whether a 'repair install' would help, or (especially) if there's
some magic bullet that will take care of everything.
Thanks,
George
I would try System File Checker.
1. Insert your Windows XP Pro SP2 CD-ROM. If it auto runs and
displays a window, then close the window.
2. Go to Start > Run and type SFC /SCANNOW in the box named "Open",
then click OK.
3. You should see a dialog titled Windows File Protection.
4. Wait for the progress bar to move all the way to the right.
5. Remove your CD
Initial attempt got:
Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected system
files.
The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable.
].
Same thing after reboot. 'sc query' appears to show RpcSs as
"running".
