My Win2k SP4 is a "little" bit ficked up, true. For example windows positions and sizes are not remembered anymore and recently not even the powerbutton works, lol :lol: But can it be these weird registry entry things?

Shall I remove them? Shall I worry?
trodas, If your machine is significantly impaired in several areas of function, you may benefit from using the Windows File Protection System File Check system to replace any missing or corrupted system files. Sometimes System Files malfunction because of Hard Disk file structure damage. You can run Error Checking on the Hard Drive to determine whether or not that is the case. If SFC and Error Checking fail to correct your system problems, you may benefit from a Windows Repair installation. Prior to any of the above procedures, you would do well to guard/backup/save any important saved documents, media, and files that you wish to preserve. If your machine shows symptoms of malware infection, or you are receiving alerts from an onboard or online scan that malware is present, then you can take the automated recommended actions, or research independently for a course of action, or submit your machine's system to analysis of HJT and other advanced tools available via our Malware Removal Forums. Ultimately, only you can decide what you actually do with your machine. Best Regards
There you have it. And you sure? So you say the SAC* and SAI* policy registres are nothing to worry about? Good :D I already figured by myself, that the d347prt registers are my old good DeamonTools - but the rest 4 things still do worry me a little :( Re-enabling the WFP might be a good idea, for the moment, you are right. I never tried that, yet! :thumbup: I run on heavily optimized SP4 Win2k install, so I do worry a little, tough, about the consequences of re-enabling WFP, tough :lol:

I did not say that these things are "fine".
I said that if you are concerned about "system" function, there are several reasonable first-line steps that you can take.
I said that if you are concerned about "malware" influences, there is a standard first-line procedure to follow in our Malware Forum.

Thank you for only posting your HJT Log as an "attachment".
We do not analyze or solve malware related HJT problems here in these Software and Hardware Forums.
The trained and qualified responders in our Malware Removal forums are here to assist you with those concerns in the Malware Removal Forum.

Best Regards
