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

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that might have to do with checking the "make files private" option
on the user account ?

That is what ticks me off about XP. Under W2K you had Administrator which
pretty much NO ONE used. Then you could have Standard (Power Users),
Restricted (Users Group) or Other and you could.

In XP you have the Boot Admin and in Windows Computer Administrator or Users
and so much won't run as anything but Computer Administrator that you end up
(and they even recommend) setting up a regular user as Computer
Administrator. 

Am I missing something here (I HOPE so) ?

Thanks,

Chuck

Isn't it the case that if you have two (or more) accounts set up with
administrator rights, one account can not access the files of the other
account?  I seem to remember running into this in the past, but I am not
positive.  In case this is true, I would think you would have to run all the
spy-ware tools under each account.

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.
