Sorry, your post is not at all helpful. SP2 is not a new update
as it was released back in August 2004. It is a proven and solid
release with over 150 million successful installations worldwide.
Your system may have been somewhat corrupt to begin with,
or maybe laden with spyware that caused the ill effects.

Please refrain from making such broad statements when the
problem was actually with your own individual PC.
