Did you EVER have a beta or Release Candidate build of WinXP SP3 installed?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you
installed or uninstalled any version of WinXP SP3?
