TROJANS on clean install of Office 2K Pro Upgrade by BOClean 4.24 ???

 

Hello All,

 

I just did a clean install of Office 2000 Professional UPGRADE CD on a

clean install of WinXP Pro SP2 due to a purchase of a new hard disk.

There were NO previous installations of Office on WinXP since it was a

clean install. During the install of Office 2000 there was no request

for a disk of a previous version, and after rebooting my malware program

BOClean 4.24 indicated 5 malware / trojan horse files. They were as

follows:

 

1 UNREGMP2.EXE

 

2 SHMGRATE.EXE

 

3 REGSVR32.EXE

 

4 RUNDLL32.EXE

 

5 IEUINIT.EXE

 

If I recall correctly Office 2000 required registration, however this

was not the case after the install.

 

Questions:

 

1 How could the Office 2k upgrade CD install without requesting a disk

from a previous version when no previous version was installed?

 

2 Since BOClean was installed previous to Office and there was no

malware indicated, the 5 problem files / malware must have been

installed by Office 2k. Is there a problem with BOClean 4.24 indicating

trojans?

 

3 If no answers for questions 1 or 2, then what?

 

I'll do an upgrade on Office and I know Microsoft validates software

before upgrades, so I may have some indication of potential issues at

that time.

 

Any ideals? TIA!

Fine but what about question #1.

As I recall the Upgraded version required either a previous version

installed on the PC or the original install disk. This was a clean

install on a new hard disk. There was no Office product installed at

the time of the installation of the Upgrade version of Office 2k Pro.
