XP - cannot install Service Pack 2 and 3 in order to install anti-virus protection.
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.

You can download what it is a good, free, program of Microsoft.
You could have downloaded from another computer, transferred via USB drive installed on your computer, updated and then went to your updates.

This page will display the SP1 of Vista, under the heading: order a DVD of Windows Vista SP1, click on your region and then select your country and will take you to a page where you can buy the SP1 and SP2
Save the link and it's also for others to read this post wishing to purchase Service Packs for Vista as long download time saved and you can use them download are a problem or you reinstall your operating system.
If you later reinstall OS and you install the drivers manually install the Service Packs right after OS reinstalled before installing any drivers. You can first install the drivers but it is better Service Packs first as sometimes when you install a Service Pack after the drivers, you can find some drivers do not work and you have to reinstall these drivers.
For people using the original image, your drivers are already installed then install Service Packs just after the factory restore before installing applications or devices or download Windows updates.
Service Packs using immediately also save hundreds of download of the updates of Windows first of all that all updates to the top until the release of Service Packs are included.
