Oh, that explains it then, I misread your email when you said you had been
there, done that.
You need to put -at least- SP1 on before going to the internet when you do
an install.
Better if you can do a clean install and put SP2 on your computer. You do
not need both if you install SP2. Then you can get updates for virus
protection safely.
