  original title: Update Service Pack

  I recently had to restore to full factory on my computer due to a virus.  Now, I try to bring my computer updated.  I tried to get these updates via the Microsoft Web site, but I'm unable to receive or download updates because only now have Service Pack 1.  Y at - it another way to download the Service Pack 2/3 so I can make sure my computer is up to date.  Thank you.

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything in the list below, in order, before connecting the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e. other computers) and before you plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external computer diskotherwise:

  1. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.
  2. Uninstall any moment invalid Norton, McAfee, etc., free version of test which was also reinstalled, run the appropriate removal tool (see below), and then install an application antivirus of your choice (for example, http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspxMicrosoft Security Essentials- free).
  3. Arrival to Windows Update & get the computer fully patched - see article below
  4. If you use other than MSE antivirus, consider making an application also antimalware as MalwareBytes AntiMalware.

  TIP: Use another and negative computer to download programs for, for example, SP2 or SP3 installation, the installer for your new anti-virus application and or other removal tools cited below. Transfer these files to CD or DVD (not a flash drive) and then transfer the files of the CD or DVD on the desktop of the computer you are using.

  Please follow the steps mentioned below and get back to us with the results.

  Method 1: Temporary connection error may occur when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

  Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Note: disable the Windows Firewall and antivirus may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

   

  Method 2: I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.

• Updates Service Pack XP (annot to connect to the server)

  Only, I recharged my old PC with windows xp, but cannot get updates or Service Packs 1 or 3... I'm not an expert on rockets & try to understand ot he website is a pain... I went to the Download Center you are looking for the link (DOWNLOAD SERVICE PACK ISSUES) and could not find it. He said somting about downloading directly to the PC without having to be connected at install.because when I try it on the site, I get error messages (cannot CONNECT to the SERVER) I'm just trying to get the old PC running on all cylinders again but didn't know what I was getting in... Thanks Denny

  I had the same problem.

  It turns out that, SP1a, being a "Quick install" package, has no corresponding data on the Microsoft server.
  This file, for some strange reason, which is still referenced and recommended by Windows Update.

  (At least for now), you must install Windows XP Service Pack 2 Package of Network Installation for developers and the professionals instead, in order to install the SP3 update.

  It's just 266 MB download, not the download of 1 MB as downloads (nothing)... in order to install the download 544 MB.

  I hope this helps!
