Wish I could. L I don't even have access to the machine any longer. I did run a Vipre Rescue scan, and it came up 100% clean, so it may just be something related to leftover policies, etc. However, I'll advise the user that it would be better to nuke and repave. J

I've seen corporate policies be a problem of that nature. I've always preferred to wipe/reload a used PC in your situation.

Any idea what could be the problem? It's got Avast! antivirus on it, but even disabling the "real-time" protection, it won't let me install MalwareBytes. L I am in the middle of downloading Vipre Rescue to be on the safe side, but I thought I'd ask in here and see if anyone has seen this behavior before. The laptop is an IBM Thinkpad T20m originally licensed for Win98. Sometime before I saw it, it was upgraded to XP Pro.
