O.K. But every time I try to install SP2, it doesn't download/install
successfully. It always fails. As it says, "Installing 1 of 30, 2 of 30"
and etc... it fails. Why is that?

Tiffany,

As the other poster has stated, you need to install SP2 first. It
will close a lot of security holes, enables you to use a software
firewall and be able to keep Windows up-to-date. I would also
recommend to google, download, install, update and run a full scan
using the following antispyware programs: MS Defender, Spybot S&D,
Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal, AVG Free Antispyware and Spyware
Blaster...
