Don,

This is a simple matter due to our Editorial contributor, Mystic
OverClocker.  He maintains our Boot Disk download page with the best of boot
applications that can solve nearly any problem.  Go to PCBUILD's website at
http://www.freepctech.com.  Then, choose Downloads on the titlebar and then
click on Boot Disks.  On this page you will find all 
of our best boot disks and I recommend you download Kaspersky Rescue Disk
(2010).   Write 
this to a CD and then boot your PC with this disc.  It will read all files
on your hard drive, removing all virii and malware in the operating system
on the disk and not in Windows.  Therein you do not have Windows attempting
to use an infected file and it can easily be removed by the boot disk.

I also note that you were advised to upgrade to SP3.  If you are happy with
SP2, and most 
people are...   the upgrade serves no value to you.  The few bugs it fix
have nothing to 
do with protecting your system from idiots who build virii and malware,
people who should be castrated in my opinion or worse.

Have a good anti-virus program and anti-spyware/malware.  You should be more
than safe.  We also have numerous such free programs on our website.  We
also will be adding numerous such programs in the near future, as Mystic has
promised to upload hundreds open hundreds of new programs to our website
before labor day, (USA).
