Last night I formatted my computer after changing my motherboard, so I installed a fresh copy of WindowsXP SP2, but seems like im getting the following error after using my computer for ~20-40mins:

I tried the hotfix microsoft provided, yet...no hope...

can anyone advice me on what to do please?!

I might have been infected, since that I did not update my SP2 to the latest fixes right away, so any patch or fix for this problem?!

First of all, enable the Windows Firewall if you don't have another one running already. Then update your antivirus and run a full system scan.

Microsoft has a malware removal tool that automatically scans and cleans your system of some common worms.

    • Apple prices for sure suck, but performance, upgradability and flexibility are subjective to the use case and machine. For example, you will not find a mini PC in the same starting price range that has the same performance as a Mac Mini, nor will it be very upgradable, if at all at that size. Many cost-effective laptops are not upgradable past the storage. Inexpensive laptops are underperforming in comparison to more expensive models that might actually cost more than a MacBook . You won’t find battery life is comparable unless you go with Snapdragon, which limits compatibility and sacrifices upgradability. AIOs suck in both spaces, so I’ll not mention them. As for flexibility, I can do more in my use cases with a Mac than I can with a Windows or Linux machine. Where Apple really screws their users over is with upgrades, especially since you have to do them during purchase. Outside of cost, it’s all subjective.
    • Not with Proton, no. macOS isn’t Linux in any way, shape, or form.
    • AIDA64 was just showing the variable speed. Open Task Manager and go on the CPU tab and see the magic of your CPU speed going up and down as the PC does things in the background. C States Auto/Disabled actually forces all cores on (disabling the ability to park unneeded 3D Cache cores when they aren't needed), but does not have any effect on the CPU speed. I think setting the Power Plan in Windows to High Performance does boost the CPU clock higher, which also results in less energy efficiency with "everything turned up to 11" all the time when it isn't even needed. Older generation CPUs did not have the variable speeds we now have in modern CPUs, they operated on a fixed clock speed.
    • one drive saved my life .ive freed up some space i now have 227gigs.
    • "What the f is that name of that program?! Good thing I can find it in the easily accessible, and alphabetized list of apps." 🙂 I don't use the Start Menu a lot, but I'd be super annoyed if there wasn't some form of an app drawer in Windows.
