CHANGING SYSTEM PROPERTIES

Hi All!

I have Win XP SP2 installed on my system. I was perplexed for i remembered clearly having switched off remote desktop and the updates as well. However, i notice one fine day that my system was operating rather slow. Ran an antivirus scan(use Avira as of now, if you know any better AV soft please advice at garagetinkerer@gmail.com), checked for rootkits. I almost gave up but then i thought of checking for remote desktop and the updates option, cos i had read an earlier report of updates slowing down XP systems. What do i find? Yes, you guessed it... It was set for automatic updates, plus the remote desktop was on. This is not o whine about what MS is on to but to serve as a warning and what can you expect from them.

Scary eh???
