Yes it says it is about network.But no,I don't have a networking problem. Both my wifi network and wired network works perfectly. So it's not that reason why I cannot install the service pack. Andrea Borman.
But I don't have any AV software installed at all.Sometimes your AV can interfere. Its often recommended to disable it while trying to install service packs.
WOW, two years experience and she's already a Computer Security Expert!
These forums are supposed to be a HELP to the newcomers and NOT set them up for infection and total disaster.
If I were an 'Admin' I would permanently BAN anyone advocating NOT using PC Security Software on their Internet PC's.
That's actually worse than advocating software piracy, for the safety of the entire WWW.
We may not all agree which AV or AS software is the best, but at least most of us DO agree that it's just right down STUPID to ever go on the WWW without it.
If I EVER, find out that someone has emailed me from an unprotected PC, they will never email me again. My own web site and forum are on a Server with Multilayered protection. Updates and scans are run daily.
I hope the server for this Forum is also protected.

Please Quantify that statement. Not just a "because I say so".Forget MS, , , they can't even fix the security holes in their own OS and browser.
As above. Please Quantify that statement. Then as a BSOD analyst (OK an amateur one) I'll stop telling folks to remove the system killer AVG (I'll even go as far as saying AVG is killing your pc but OT says its good so carry on).So fortunately, we do have a few very Good AV companies, like AVG

I agree, MSE is not ideal. But it is better than nothing. And you are right, Defender and MSE are the same process (MsMpEng.exe). But Pleeease do not recommend free AVG. We had 18 systems heavily infected at our computer club whilst free AVG was on guard - in fact it guarded zippo. Took 3 of us instructors a full week to fix the mess. At that time nobody made images yet (although I kept telling them) - but they learned and image with Macrium now.WHS, don't waste your time!
We've been telling people for YEARS, NOT to ever go on the internet without FULL AV and AS protection.
Forget MS, , , they can't even fix the security holes in their own OS and browser.
But one reason we have to many viruses and spyware circulating in the wild, is because some ID10T's just
won't protect their computers. They get infected and then pass it along to all their friends via email.
Ain't that GREAT? I'm sure the friends are grateful for all that love and consideration. Eh?
So fortunately, we do have a few very Good AV companies, like AVG, that put out free versions of their AV/AS software
for FREE home use, to cut down on the total number of viruses circulating in the world.
Just remember WHS, , , You might fix a computer, but......
