Guest Bea Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Has anyone used microsoft OneLive.com? It has a free service to scan your pc for virus and/or correct corrupted registry files. I"ve been having problem doing system restore. My pc might be virus infected already. Currently, I don't have virus scan installed. I done everything as suggested by the generous posters here. From taking ownership of all the files and folders of the corrupted administrator profile and then copying it to another administrator profile. All this done on safe mode. I still can't log in on normal mode, it always log me in in the system default profile, for the mean time its' building up enormous temp user folders in the system. Kindly enlighten me on this onelive.care. Thanks , Bea

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: onelive.com Are you referring to Windows Live OneCare Safety scans (onecare.live.com)? I'd recommend running the Protection scan ONLY! Why don't you have an anti-virus application installed? How long have you been running without an anti-virus application? Is the Windows Firewall enabled? Is Automatic Updates enabled and is your machine fully patched at Windows Update?

Guest db.·.. > Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: onelive.com microsofts one care has two versions. they have the full install free for a trial period http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/purchase/trial.htm?sc_cid=mscom_hp and they also have a free one online scanner version: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/article/registry_cleaner_why.htm however, though the above is safe to run, there can be other causes attributing to the issue you are experiencing. for example, faulty hardware can cause the o.s. to be unstable and mis interpreted as an infection. further, the above programs don't really help with configuring your system, that is if the o.s. has been reconfigured either intentionally or inadverdently. perhaps, what you might be looking for is the method to repair your operating system. a repair installation uses your windows xp setup cd and analyzes your o.s. on the hd. then if there are any missing or corrupted system files, then the repair process will replace them with genuine ones from the cd. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> "Bea" <DeleteQueen@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:63266D02-C21A-40B0-8E3F-B2F61DCF656F@microsoft.com... > Has anyone used microsoft OneLive.com?
