Hm, could you explain your "clean-up" methods a bit closer please?
Are you deleting any $NTUninstall folders for instance? Are you
"cleaning" the "$hf_mig$" folder too? Are you "cleaning" manually
or are you using a tool for that? Which one?

I haven't found something abnormal in the log file. You have rebooted
Windows in the meantime and KB920213 is still reoffered?

Bye,
Freudi

I clean out all TIF/Cookies/both of the main 'temp folders'/unwantedActive X
etc.
I run DiskCleanup, then defrag.
I clear the System Restore and set a new restore point.
I clear all unwanted email from ALL folders - then compact.
I do a full backup of folders and files, address book and favourites to
disk/s.
Then I download 'outside help' as I call it:
Symantec/Kaspersky/eTrust AV free scanners.
I also download:
Spyware Detector
Spyware Doctor
Spybot Search and Destroy
XoftSpySE
Trend Micro
AdWare Alert(but never again)
I already have AdAware in-house, plus my ISP's own AV and antispyware
scanners, plus MS Mal Software Remover.
All sites are updated after download

I start here and work through the whole procedure
http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal_and_Prevention:_Introduction
Plus I add in one or two other little tweaks as per MVP sites etc.
I do this off-line, one at a time and with AV/Firewall and any other
antispy/malware progs disabled.
It takes time, but worth it I think.
If any probs show/found I print the info or print screen.
On completion, I delete any prog that found nothing.
I then go back to sort out problems that any Prog. might have found.
Seekmo and 180 solutions were sorted in the end.
Nothing else showed. I was a bit disappointed that none of the scanners
found anything about Romemaster.com which is currently hijacking the browser
in Google and Yahoo.
No solution has been poster as of last weekend.

No - I have never deleted any of those blue coloured uninstalled update
files. Like the Registry, I know nothing about them so stay away.

Well at least I appear to have found the right .log - one step forward.
I dont know if your finding nothing is good news or bad news :-).
Yes, KB920213 is still on offer :-(
Just in case you ask, ever since the horrendeous download and install probs.
back in April/May, I no longer download from WU Home site. I go there for
the scan of my system(if I can get into the Home Page), get what is on
offer, print out, and then download to disk all updates from their
respective MS site. I download with AV/Firewall off. Once all are
downloaded, I disconnect from the net, then write all the updates to disk,
install one at a time in the order as presented on the Home Page, with no
security progs running, and reboot whether or not there is a suggestion to
do so.
I think I have covered all on this point.
I will do to this KB what Mow suggested for the other one - it seems that it
can be deleted without causing problems to any other update/prog or
otherwise that one can be warned about.
Do you agree???
It is strange that there does not appear to be any other poster reporting a
re-offer on this KB.
