I have decided to turn of XP's Indexing Service on my HD and when I did that, while it was "applying attributes" to everything on the HD I got Errors for about 10 files. The Error was "Access is denied."

Two examples of two of the errors:

C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Ado...\ActiveX

C:\WIN...ADOBEUPDATER.EXE-1AB51BCE.pf

I kept hitting Ignore and saved the first few error windows and then finally just hit Ignore All.

Have I broken something?

I also went into Services and Disabled Indexing Services there. Is this OK?

Hi JD,
Your computer may be infected with viruses and malwares, so try to clean up
by scanning on line for both.
For scan online go here:
http://www.pandasecurity.com
http://www.sophos.com
http://www.avast.com
http://www.trendmicro.com
For malwares:
install, then run the updates to get the new definitions and scan for
malwares:
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
http://www.safer-networking.org for Spybot S&D BTW, Adobe extension will end with PDF not PF, the spyware would like to trick you and your system.
HTH.
Let us know.

I don't think that is the problem. I scan with Avast, Spybot Search&Destroy, SuperAntiSpyware and I use Spyware Blaster.

The file ADOBEUPDATER.EXE-1AB51BCE.pf is located in C:\Windows\Prefetch and I don't think it's a .pdf file.
