The spyware I, (or MS antispyware and spybot S&D), couldn't get rid of it, so I had to delete, reinstall, and then reinstall SP2, antispyware before connecting it to the net again.
If it is SP2 you might last a bit longer, but SP1 will probably be exploited in minutes. (On BT openworld's network anyway)
Its a bit annoying as I wouldn't mind having SP2 on my desktop, but the b****rd won't install, and I can't seem to get round it.
