wont install service pack 2
this computer had a lot of spyware viruses and trojans on it. when i got rid of them i went to bring it up to date with the security updates. i tried the service pack 4 from a cd i burned and it says "access denied". when i try it from windows update on the internet it downloads and installs, but sends the computer into a rebooting loop until i "restore to previous..." it has updates ready to install in the lower right corner and maybe that is whats messing it up. any help would sure be appreciated. thanks.

SP2 does have problems with Spyware. Scan the PC with Virus and Spyware scans to make sure you are clean. Checkout this thread to run an indepth Adaware scan http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/...ad.php?t=37546 or try MS Spyware Beta http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en |

ad aware scans clean. is there a way to purge the "updates ready for install" so i can start fresh and download again from windows update? when i try a windows update it just uses the stuff already downloaded and screws up the system.
