What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? 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 SP2?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

<gulp> That's a scary one, and an excellent candidate for a FixIt! [I
suppose the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939399 FixIt for the 0x80071A91
error won't work here.]

QED: Why do they keep using System Restore to "undo" updates, Service Packs,
and IE upgrades?

With Vista it's always scary, if it don't work, try a SR if not, in place
upgrade (repair install) if not then wipe it and start again.

It's so much easier these days for any OS, to make regular images of the
system when it's stable and then just restore from the image when things go
wrong. Had to do that with the neighbour's HP computer over weekend. I
regularly image his computer and a friend's computer so in times of trouble,
it's easier to fix.
