I'll try that and wait 'til the next round of updates.
Just to stir the pot a little, earlier this morning I visited Microsoft
Update and was offered some updates to Office 2007 & VS.2008 (I had just
installed them yesterday), which downloaded and installed fine, except
for a patch to SQLExpress which failed because the service wasn't
running.
As I was doing this, the little icon in the system tray popped up,
telling me that there were updates available to install.
After the manual download & install completed, I re-started the SQL
server and clicked the icon, which then installed the missed SQL server
patch.
Maybe doing the manual download cleared things up.
Again, we'll see next month.

I've been running Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Protection Agent for
years, as required by my employer for access to the corporate network.
They were running when I installed SP3, because they're always running
:-)
No acive anti-spyware application; I do run Spybot S&D manually from
time to time.

I changed to Microsoft Update whenever it became available, and don't
have OneCare (don't even know what it is).
