MsFixit,
I have DSL Pro and it now takes longer to scan than it once did for some
reason but it's minutes, not hours in my case.
System Requirements for Windows XP Service Pack 2
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/sysreqs.mspx
The first time I downloaded it with DSL it took two hours. You might check
with Circuit City, Best Buy or Office Depot regarding obtaining it on CD-Rom
or maybe someone you know may know someone that can give/loan you their copy.
Microsoft shipped massive amounts of these discs which were free as well as
free to share with others because of the size of the download.

Follow the instructions exactly as written, word by word, letter by letter.
If you reach a step that does not work, then post exactly what you tried and
what happened.
my computer is new, and running XP with SP2.
Where do I find the Software Distribution Folder?
In C:\Windows
But follow the instructions below for getting to it.
The only Automatic Updates I can find is in the Security Centre of the
Control Panel, and there isn't a STOP there, just the option to Turn
Off Downloads.
The instructions below spelt out exactly how to get there. It is not in
control panel. It is in services.msc

If you're referring to this workaround, it didn't work for me either.

This did.
Here are two possibilities namely the temporary folder of WU has
become corrupted/damaged and also the the ActiveX control has
corrupted.
1. Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder (it will be recreated next
time you visit
WU again)
You will lose your history but that's not important.
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.
Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click
Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename
this folder.
Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.
2. How to remove a corrupted Active X control
Start IE and then click Tools/Internet Options
On the General Tab choose Settings under Temporary Internet Files
Then click on View Objects.
Right Click WuWebControl Class and choose remove
Right Click MuWebControl Class and choose remove
Now you need to delete the files from your hard drive, locate and
delete the files
c:\windows\system32\wuweb.dll and c:\windows\system32\muweb.dll
Now revisit WU and redownload the activex controls
3. Finally if you want to force a detection cycle in AU then close IE
Now click on Start and select Run
Type wuauclt.exe /detectnow in the Open box and click OK
Try the WU again
Additional information:
