  I need to install Service Pack 2 and 3, in order to install a virus program.  I currently do not have one, as my Norton Antivirus program should be uninstalled.  I can't get the Windows Update page to download.  Is there another way to get to this download?  I want to get do it as fast as possible, as I am currently without any virus/spyware protection.

  Thank you!!

  If SP2 to SP3, is not installed, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed and missing a value of more than four years of critical security updates! It is not a chance in h * that SP2 & SP3 will install with your computer in its current state, Erica.

  I agree with PA bear "you can't trust the security of ANY computer used until you've formatted the hard drive & then made a clean installation of Windows.  "

  But if you do not want or you cannot perform a clean install and are willing to take the risk of infecting other computers on the home network, read on:-

  To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:

  1. Click Startand then click run.
  2. Copy and paste, or type the following command, and then click OK:

  Jump SP1a and go directly to the SP2:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28

  The link for SP1a is for quick installation, which requires an internet connection on the computer that you are using it (it looks like DirectX Web install). You can go directly to SP2 without first having the SP1 (or 1A). Copy the file to a CD or a flash drive, and then copy it from there to your target PC and run it. Then, you can download and install SP3:

• Installation of Service Pack 3 and (almost) catastrophic failure.

  After properly installing Service Pack 3 and restarted my computer, ALL I get on my screen is my beautiful background of hills and blue sky.  NOTHING else.  The only way I could get my messages (and get on this site) was to make Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then make a few clicks and as if by magic, I'm here.  I don't have no tray - clock, no quick launch item, no START.  No icons at all.  That's happened?

  More information? What you describe is a symptom of a malware infection.

  We don't know anything about your situation. In your next post, please let us know:
  -the make, model and model number of your PC
  -the reason for which you have installed SP3 (for example, you just complete a clean install after format?)
  -the status of malware from your PC (if you have malware, let us know what it was)
  Reset. If you see the same thing, try this combination of keys:
