I had a Spyware problem - removed it and re-installed my Windows XP Home

SP2.

 

Now I cannot do any updates. they down load, but I keep getting the update

failed message.

 

I have looked at the log and frankly don't know which error message I should

be addressing.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thx

How did you determine the machine was free of all spyware, why did you

"re-install" WinXP if the machine was clean, and how did you "re-install"

Windows?
