Default Butted Subfloor

I'm going to put down 3/4" walut hardwood flooring throughout my main floor. After taking all the carpet off I found the builder butted all the subfloor. It is 5/8" ply (underlayment) over a layer of 1/2" ply (sub). Underneath are 2X10 joists 16" OC.

Am I just looking at squeak potential here?? Are there any solutions?

There have always been squeaks but I am planning to use deck screws and go throughout the house to secure the subfloor a little better. So far it has quieted most of the concerns. I'll also be putting down rosin paper under the hardwood.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
