WinXP Home--Constant Hard Drive Activity

WinXP, SP1 was fine until today when I installed 32 SP1 Windows updates. Now the hard drive shows almost constant activity, and Windows take a bit longer to start than before.

I ran a full system scan in Norton, which found adwares Crack.exe and NNEZTA388.exe, which it did not delete. I also ran AdAware and SpyBot, which turned up nothing.

What types of things can cause the hard drive activity? Where do I start to diagnose and fix the problem? I want to install SP2 and a wireless network adapter to go with my DSL.

 

Crack.exe I think is "Reddw Worm" or variant, Look here:

The other NNEZTA388.exe Look Here:

The first thing to do is remove the Bugs/Virus/Spyware/Worms that Norton couldnt!

If your going to install SP2, the Best way is starting with fresh install of Windows XP.

If your going to run wireless, Ya might want to beef if your security knowledge.

This Thread probably should be in the Spyware Section as it's the root of your problems, Maybe the Mod's will move it there
