Actually, I did once try to upgrade to a higher SP, using “fresh from the shelf” CDs directly from Microsoft. However something went terribly wrong and my system would not reboot. After several tech calls and a site visit ($$), they were able to restore the OS to operation, and that is how it has been left.

Since then, I have had no OS problems or virus infections. This issue is the first. While it may be a valid infection, I also see several comments in this forum regarding false positives. Hence my initial question.

While others may have subjective opinions regarding my desire to continue using an older system, that is not the reason I asked for commentary. I was only looking for constructive assistance…
