Solve : Microsoft Office 2000 and 2003 ~ YIKES!?

:(I seem to have BOTH versions of Microsoft Office showing up in my PROGRAM FILES library, although when I start any Office application, it says it's the Office 2003 version.
That being said, both versions were INSTALLED by COPIED CD's, and NEITHER show up on the ADD/REMOVE list in the CONTROL PANEL, should I wish to remove one version {the 2000 one}.
And there doesn't appear to be an UNINSTALL exe, nor an UNINSTALL option on either 2000 {or 2003!} for me to do this.
For years, Office UPDATE always looked after fixes, versions, etc., but lately, I cannot download fixes to Outlook 2003 and Excel 2003, and am now 4 'repairs' behind. Secunia calls them THREATS when it scans my pc, so I'd LIKE to remove BOTH versions and reinstall Office 2003 {I have a zipped file of this, which I'd use, plus the copied cd, if I really need it}.
Can I just delete the Office 2000 file folder and reboot, and use Office Update to get Office 2003 updated properly?
Or should I delete BOTH, reboot, reinstall Office 2003 and use Office Update to get Office 2003 updated properly?
Can I just delete file folders to remove Office 2000 or Office 2003 or both?Do you have an original CD and certificate of authenticity?If you have the original legal copies then we can help you.Neither version is genuine, sorry:
Office 2003 is from someplace called IUONLINE {Indiana University Online}, and Office 2000 is definitely a copied cd that 'fell off the back of the software truck', according to my source when I first got it.You might consider the totally genuine ....

http://www.openoffice.org/Thanks for the advice, appreciated!
I did get a suggestion to use OpenOffice from another forum I use, but I really like Outlook 2003 for email, and use it for calendaring/contacts/'my life!'/etc!.
I really don't want to start learning/using another office system at this time, unless I HAVE to, if unresolved security threats increase.
Right now, it's rather minimal exposure, but...}.
Forum rules do not permit us to assist with illegal software.




(Neither should they, but that's JMHO.)  I agree with Rob, if I have to spend my hard earned money on software then don't expect me to help you cheat. Quote from: dmarklinger on June 26, 2009, 08:53:33 AM
