    Hello to my BEST and MOST TRUSTED friends!
    I have used the malware removal guide to address problems with my pc, my son's pc and the pc's of a few friends. I get better at it with each pass.

    My son, who is 15, started his own majorgeeks account last year when he decided to upgrade a Compaq Presario (that I gave him 5 years ago for Christmas) from a single core to a dual core. I showed him how to do the research necessary to select the right hardware as well as hardware that is dependable and reliable. Now he is planning to upgrade to a six core pc. In December, when he turns 16, he plans to apply for a job with Geek Squad. He even looked up the requirements for landing the job.
    A new computer geek is born! I am so happy for him because I know full well that THE GEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!

    Now it is time to walk my son through the malware removal guide. To warm up, I decided to go over the process one more time on my pc. Problem is that I could not find info on changing the USER ACCOUNT CONTROL for windows XP in the READ ME FIRST section. I have gone over the section several times and I still cannot find it. Before I use the MGTOOLS, I need to find and change the UAC to get the full benefit from MGTOOLS (I think?).
    *I also noticed that SuperAntiSpyware has changed and now the step by step instructions in the malware removal guide are off just a little bit.

    I tell everyone who will listen that majorgeeks is THE BEST SITE ON THE INTERNET. I really do and I really mean that! Thanks for everything!

    Hello, hiddendiamond!

    User Account Control was introduced in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, so it doesn't apply to XP.

    re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control

    I'm sure that chaslang will update the guide's instruction for using SUPERAntiSpyware shortly.

    "Thanks! Best Wishes!!" to your son.
