Microsoft windows XP professional 2002 SP2

[sanjinaga]

System:
Microsoft windows XP professional 2002
Service Pack 2

Computer:
Intel (R) Pentium (R) M
Processor 1400MHz
598MHz, 256 MB of RAM

I recently downloaded SP2. Since then having problems with desktop.
Whenever
I start the laptop the image on desktop doesn't seems to be appearing -
It is
just blue. Also the laptop is not ready or never gets ready to start
using
it. After several restart attempts it goes through a file check & an
restore
desktop appears. When I activate the desktop at this stage it starts
working
normal as ever.
Im a bit annoyed with SP2. Im not a computer expert. Someone please
advice.

Did you check for malware before installing SP2?
So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

Yes, spyware is most likely the culprit.
