Getting and Installing Windows XP Service Pack 2

"Failure to clean up spyware and adware on your computer
before installing SP2 can cause issues and in some cases
make your computer difficult to restart. You may not even
know that spyware or adware programs are installed on
your system. And some spyware or adware programs may not
cause serious issues with SP2, but it's a good idea to
run spyware and adware removal programs before installing
SP2.
As another precaution, before you install SP2, you need
to disable antivirus software you're using and close any
open programs. This is always a good idea before
installing new software, but it's especially important
when you're installing a service pack. And for SP2, it's
important that you disable any antivirus software
especially. Some antivirus software can interfere with
the SP2 installation. To disable the software, follow
instructions from the antivirus software provider that
you use. Check the software provider's Web site for exact
steps."
