Re: Protecting a Win98?

Hi Bubba! Happy New Year!

IE Spyad was one of the first things to get installed.

Thanks!

ScanRegistry
Task Monitor
System Tray
LoadPowerProfile (two instances were running so I unchecked one)
The above are all normal Windows98se processes. One LoadPowerProfile instance is initiated by the Run key, the other by the RunServices key (I don't remember if it makes any difference if one is unchecked - I've always had both). Some tipsters say that if you don't use any Power Management features, you can disable both instances. The ATI processes are related to the video card.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ScanRegistry] C:\WINDOWS\scanregw.exe /autorun
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemTray] SysTray.Exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadPowerProfile] Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [LoadPowerProfile] Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

Program Name: AtiCwd32
Executable Name: AtiCwd.exe
Required: User's choice
Comments: This utility adds the ATI tab in the advanced display properties (gives the option for TV out). Do not uncheck if there is TV out on the video card.

Program Name: ATI Task Application (Atikey)
Executable Name: Atitask.exe
Required: No
Comments: System Tray access and key-combo shortcuts to common display functions on ATI video cards. Can be run from Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display.

Re: Protecting a Win?

you should be good to go-- probably the 440FX or similar P2 chipset; max ram should be at least 768MB, and PC66 or PC100 *should* work with it. 440FX could use EDO SIMMs or SDRAM DIMMs; some even had slots for either but you shouldn't mix and match. You can check www.crucial.com if you know the make /model number or the chipset-- there are devices in Device Manager that should give you a clue, typically the description associated with System components or the Hard Drive controllers.

BTW, Sun Java before the _06 release has a nasty exploit.
