I had problems with the last MS update but I believe it was due to my zone
alarm or spytbot S &D and I updated one of them( zone alarm I think, the
free one), however; I do not think it has tried to install again since then,
I cannot remember now. I had to do a system restore before due to that
update. I do not have SP3 on my xp system yet either.
