uninstall SP3

[Lanny]

Is it possible to uninstal SP3 and return to SP2? After installing service
pack 3 I'm getting the above error with the following information:
szAppName:svchost.exe
szAppVer 5.1.2600.5512
SzModname:rpcess.dll
I have run spybot, adware, ccleaner, a2squared, avg virus protection, pctoos
spyware. Most of these have also run in safe mode. My computer is clean to
the best of my knowledge. The error happens after the notebook comes out of
hibernation. I then have about a minute to close programs and the computer
reboots. Can you suggest anything? I've looked in MS website for issues and
haven't had any success to date.

SP3 didn't install that hijackware, Lanny, so uninstalling SP3 isn't going
to fix it.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.

That's not an SP3 file. Have you tried a scan with the newly released
Spybot version 1.6?

Also, are you sure the file not rpcss.dll and not rpcess.dll. Windows
DOES have rpcss.dll as a file.
