I should mention that many ad and spyware sites are now targetting Firefox users. I've noticed an increase in the number of ads not blocked by Firefox. I haven't got any spyware, but IMO, it's only a matter of time before some spyware does take advantage of the increasing number of vulnerabilities in Firefox. No browser is really safe, just that the niche browsers are targetted less often.

If you used MalWhere itself to scan, I seriously doubt that it will report the spyware installed .

There is no Server service, so your first registry tweak is useless . And no, I didn't forget about the second .

The kernels aren't different. Server 2003 and XP share the same code base. And it can't be the server or workstation problem either, because I got Server 2003 to think it's a workstation. BTW I think I remember someone mention 16 colors only... EDIT: Screenshot moved to first page.

I still don't get why Server 2003 uses more commit charges than XP. Anyone know?

Already attempted it (Security reasons).

This is gamehead200's screenshot:

Same here, except I notice only 5MB more.

Nice! Is that XP or Server 2003?

Unfortunately, MS just released six new patches for W2K3 . I was really hoping this was it.

Windows already does a good job of freeing up memory. All of the "memory freeing" and "defragmenting" tools out there are really just a bunch of bull. They hinder performance instead of increasing it.

Took me hours supplying our 500+ testers with t-shirts!

Participation and a intimate relationship with Windows.

Beautiful! Impressive use of Flash animation, not too distractive, but noticeable enough to enhance the page. I like how that "thing" follows you around when you hover over the menu.

Check your PM.

Why not just get Windows 2000 or XP?

Make the key and set it to the value MS wants it at.

SP2 creates incompatibility issues with many applications.

ROFL And down here I see PCs that mysteriously lose RAM modules.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My school somehow manages to make their external HDs vanish in thin air

As impossible as it may seem, I think I actually have an idea. All EXEs and DLLs contain registry information in them. Also included is a default value. Windows reads the registry database for any modified values and uses those instead. If I could somehow remove or modify all of the keys and values used by malware, or lock them similar to the XP SP2 connection limit, then most, if not all, of the threats would be removed. It is possible to do this, but reverse engineering a DLL or EXE and then patching it is beyond my skills. Even if I was capable of doing it, there are still way too many keys and values. So I'm wondering if anyone knows a tool that does the above tasks, or if it doesn't exist, create one for me?

I believe it's made by someone on this forum named SFiorito, not sure though.

I have another new unachievable goal for my project! To prevent all malware infections!

I take it that you want to participate in the beta?

Just sent some PMs out for beta testing of my project. People that I feel have a desire to contribute somehow to this project, or is otherwise very knowledgeable in the subject of minimal installs have been invited.

It's actually just a rebranded version of Expression 3. They offered it as a free download before, but now...
