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).
