Is it correct that Microsoft has published a piece of software that stops the
installation of SP2 when you have automatically download an installation of
security patches?

If it exists, where can I find it and prevent unauthorized installation of
this service pack?

The problem is that we have some software that is not been tested with WinXP
SP2.
