I need help with the Windows XP Service Pack 2!!

[Renee]

I recently started getting a lot of spyware, adware, and trojan horses on my
computer. I then went online and bought Norton 360, but it could not finish
downloading because my computer told me I needed to download Windows XP
Service Pack 2. I went to the Microsoft website to get the service pack, and
everything was fine until it finished. When it finished, the webpage
displayed a message saying something along the line of "this webpage cannot
be displayed" and so on and so forth. I tried other service pack links to
download, and none of them have worked out. All I am trying to do is finish
downloading my Norton 360, which so far I haven't been able to do. If anyone
out there knows anything about this, please, let me know!!

1) Avoid all-in-one products like Norton 360. Get a decent AntiVirus
software (free is fine), use the built in Windows XP SP2 Firewall, utilize a
Cable/DSL router if you have high-speed internet and scan your system on
occassion with a couple of good antispyware applications. Combine all that
with good computing common sense - you will have a more stable and faster
running system for it.

2) Download the stand-alone SP2 install or order the CD...

Its unwise to attempt an sp update whilst your PC is compromised

You maybe able to do an online scan at either or; trendmicro.com,
symantec.com
Also malaware & Trojan apps, all free, MS Defender, Adaware, SpyBot -
download & run all three
Do not attempt an sp update or Norton installation untill your PC is clean
