I think your malware program is faulty:

1 UNREGMP2.EXE http://www.justtext.com/processes-tasks/unregmp2-exe.html

2 SHMGRATE.EXE http://www.justtext.com/processes-tasks/shmgrate-exe.html

3 REGSVR32.EXE Windows File

4 RUNDLL32.EXE Windows File

5 IEUINIT.EXE Don't know

Office 2000 does not require registration unless you purchased a version with SP-1 already installed.

Hello All,

I just did a clean install of Office 2000 Professional UPGRADE CD on a
clean install of WinXP Pro SP2 due to a purchase of a new hard disk.
There were NO previous installations of Office on WinXP since it was a
clean install. During the install of Office 2000 there was no request
for a disk of a previous version, and after rebooting my malware program
BOClean 4.24 indicated 5 malware / trojan horse files. They were as
follows:

1 UNREGMP2.EXE

2 SHMGRATE.EXE

3 REGSVR32.EXE

4 RUNDLL32.EXE

5 IEUINIT.EXE

If I recall correctly Office 2000 required registration, however this
was not the case after the install.

Questions:

1 How could the Office 2k upgrade CD install without requesting a disk
from a previous version when no previous version was installed?

2 Since BOClean was installed previous to Office and there was no
malware indicated, the 5 problem files / malware must have been
installed by Office 2k. Is there a problem with BOClean 4.24 indicating
trojans?

3 If no answers for questions 1 or 2, then what?

I'll do an upgrade on Office and I know Microsoft validates software
before upgrades, so I may have some indication of potential issues at
that time.

Any ideals? TIA!

Oops? <G>

I think your malware program is faulty

I've forwarded the original post with the alert images. We will have to
see what Comodo / BOClean have to say.

Fine but what about question #1.

1 How could the Office 2k upgrade CD install without requesting a disk
from a previous version when no previous version was installed?

As I recall the Upgraded version required either a previous version
installed on the PC or the original install disk. This was a clean
install on a new hard disk. There was no Office product installed at
the time of the installation of the Upgrade version of Office 2k Pro.

Humm, it's not acting as expected AND you have a load of malware.
Wouldn't that make the authenticity of the Office CD suspect?

You would think so, but Microsoft Office Update check authenticity
before update. Everything is "genuine."

IIRC I originally purchased Office 97 Professional from CompUSA.
Microsoft had a promo where you could purchases Office 2k for a
discounted amount due to the pending release of Office 2k which I opted
to do. Bottom line is if these are not the original disk, then someone
other than myself has done a disk shuffle.

installed on the PC or the original install disk. This was a clean
install on a new hard disk. There was no Office product installed at
the time of the installation of the Upgrade version of Office 2k Pro.

As I recall, when you install from the upgrade CD, if you don't enter a key,
it will use that CD as the 'previous install', and continue to install
normally. On first use of one of the office components, it will ask you to
supply the key (which came with the upgrade).
