Thanks Firefox.. Sad to say I was right..I've always had the feeling that my copy of Windows was not legit..I cant seem to find Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) I can only see Windows Driver Package-Nokia (WUDFRd) WPD Windows Driver Package - Nokia Modem )3.1) Windows Driver Package - Nokia Modem (6.82.0.1) Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)

thanks exile360 and Noknojon..=) I also want to follow your advice on using XPSP3 but then again the question of piracy is my priority..if I use the Microsoft Update site wont it corrupt my windows program? I remember a few months ago I tried updating my IE to the current one but the result failed..So now I seldom use IE anymore..I usually use Firefox and Google chrome.. And oh about Malwarebytes I only ran a quick scan..Pepole say I should run a deep scan..(does this mean performing a full scan?) I only downloaded the free one..

thank you for answering my questions guys! =) I really appreciate it.. I already installed Malwarebytes in my PC and so far so good ( I think) =) here's the result of the quick scan.. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.45 www.malwarebytes.org Database version: 4049 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 4/29/2010 11:02:41 AM mbam-log-2010-04-29 (11-02-41).txt Scan type: Quick scan Objects scanned: 103304 Time elapsed: 3 minute(s), 29 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: (No malicious items detected) This is ok right? Nothing to be worried about? Thank you Thank you thank you! You guys are the best!

oh..I see..I have Avira as an anti virus..According to forums its also a good one..So can I still install Malwarebytes even if my copy of Windows is pirated? Well actually its not pirated (I think) but the copy of windows was distributed to their customer so its like 1 original copy and they just enter different license numbers (or something like that) so that makes your copy of Windows illegal right? Because only a few users are allowed to use it.... Or should I get a new Windows first before installing malwarebytes?

hi i"m a newbie when it comes to computer software I really don't know much but I've been trying to read forums like this one..Now I have a question..I've been wanting to install malwalwarebytes for quite sometime now however I'm not sure if I should..you see when I bought my computer it was already programmed..now I'm not really sure if the store installed a genuine set of Windows program (but if my intuition is right this is a pirated one) the one installed in my pc..now my question is: Will malwarebytes be affecting my pc if its a pirated copy of windows? Or is it ok to install malwarebytes? help me..I really want my pc to be protected..thanks!
