RE: [PCTECH] CoolWebSearch browser hijacker - Part II (Windows Updatenot working)

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

You are on XP ? That is something I am still getting up to speed on
security-wise (and that is another discussion). We are primarily a W2K Pro
shop and Administrator is obviously there via Widows. In XP you have
Computer Administrator and you should have a "main" Computer Administrator
as one of these in XP I thought. And I THOUGHT that was good enough ?
Maybe someone else can better answer that.

Chuck

I'm glad you responded, Chuck.  I never got Doug's post that you responded
to.

I didn't really ask the question you asked, Chuck, and yours is better.
Obviously, it would be far easier and faster to just be able to do this
stuff once from the admin account.  One reason it didn't come to the
forefront in my mind is that the only way to use the admin account is to
start in Safe mode.  Why is that?  Or did I miss a way to log in as admin in
normal mode?

In Safe mode, I can't access the internet and a lot of things aren't
available.
