If i am right, you are attempting to provision your cable moden through
comcast by downloading the install.exe from the initialization website. The
program is unsigned content. It puts the following in some people's firewall
log;MS02-039_SQL_SERVER_RESOLUTION_EXPLOIT. The best way to provision your
cable modem is to call them and give them your modem's mac address over the
phone.

I don't know what the other posters are talking about, but this sounds like a
security feature of WinXP SP2. Right click on the file, select properties
from the context menu, and click the "Unblock" button in the dialog box.
