Cody I have your number so if I can get online tonight I'll call you if I have issues. But I know the SP2 thing is first and foremost, whatever that is. Actually on second thought I'll probably just call you anyway because mostly likely I'll lose my brain when I attempt to do this. It's been a rough, rough day.

cody · 2006-02-01, 02:26 PM

I have a date tonight. Don't you dare call me.

Call me tomorrow and I can totally help. SP2 is a service pack for Windows XP that includes a software firewall which should protect your system enough for you to do Windows updates and install AV without incident.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-01, 02:29 PM

Hhahaha, I forgot about that actually. Remember, hit that shit.

I can get SP2 from Windows Update or whatever on the Windows site?

cody · 2006-02-01, 02:30 PM

You can, but some say you could pick up a virus if you go online without a firewall (hardware or software). You're better off downloading it and burning it to CD with a computer that is running AV (which Dean said he'll do) and installing it from the CD.

Here's SP2 in case you were asking if you could DL it at work and burn it to CD, which you can.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-01, 02:41 PM

Well Cody forgot to mention he was drinking and racing last night

Dean · 2006-02-01, 02:45 PM

I already have SP2, and the two AV packages I listed earlier on a CD for you. I still recommend you use the CE one from SBC if you have DSL. Just go here after you get connected.

Must use IE to access which is BS, but the SW doesn't require it after that.

Thier security suite has AV, and Spyware tools which I reccomend, and use. Pop up blocker (for IE which I don't), and parental controls which I probably should use for myself all for free.

I think at last we (well, some of us) have a clear picture.

cody · 2006-02-01, 03:25 PM

Yah, Dean's HD sucked. Jonny's HD sucked only slightly less, and I can't drive in GT4 to save my life.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-01, 11:24 PM

Sweet first post from the new computerrrrr.

Dean · 2006-02-01, 11:27 PM

Cool. What did you end up doing? Housemate or whatever had a router didn't he?

Where are those cut and pastes of the drive info?

cody · 2006-02-01, 11:45 PM

Laff@Dean. Congrats Jonny!

Sorry, I had been drinking again. It was your "let's get down to brass tacks" attitude.

I also like how Jonny totally ignored at least one of your questions.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-02, 10:07 AM

LOL, I know I was having too much fun lookin at porn.

Tell me you did the Windows Update and made sure your AV was updated first.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-02, 10:27 AM

Yeah that was the first thing I did. DOY.

cody · 2006-02-02, 10:30 AM

Just makin' sure. I know how porn can affect your young fragile mind.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-02, 10:39 AM

Well I wasn't really lookin at it for that long. There was a lot of other crap I was doin.
