I've checked out everything about viruses and worms and nothing is ever
found. When I do a repair everything runs fine until I do updates again then
on the reboot I get the same errors. So far this time I haven't tried any
updates and everything is fine, but I don't want to never be able to do any
updates. Thanks.

It is probably worth your time to make sure you have none of these files
(any of which indicate a virus).

Use Windows XP Search to look for:
Ocxtodll.exe.
Msinet.ocx
Vbs6stkit.dll
Mswinsck.ocx

Post back with you results.

I would thoroughly research Service Pack2 by perusing the links at:
http://support.microsoft.com/xpsp2getinstall
http://ask-leo.com/will_sp2_crash_my_machine.html

Also, once SP2 is installed perhaps the extra protection it provides is
uncovering problems with one or more of the following:
Corrupt Registry
Unstable driver
Turn off Windows Firewall and see if your problem goes away (there is an
applet for Windows Firewall in the Control Panel)

Finally, install and run the latest versions and the latest updates of the
following:
..Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/se [...] fault.mspx

..Lavasoft Ad-Aware
http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm

..Spybot Search & Destroy (S&D)
http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html

Run your virus software in Safe Mode (pressing F8 a few times while
booting) - preferably with System Restore tuned off.

Other options (in Normal Boot Mode)
Run an online scan at
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/
and/or
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ho [...] t_corp.asp

Download/Run Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads [...] laylang=en

Run Ad-Aware SE Personal (first) and SpyBot-Search & Destroy (second).
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html
After you install each, you should click update before running. For example,
with Ad-Aware click on the link "Check for updates now" on the first screen
that appears after you launch the application.

I have also heard good reports about the Damage Cleanup Engine from Trend
Micro at
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
