MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 3

Post by cypris79007 on Thu 08 Oct 2009, 8:29 pm

Quick Question:
Is it recommended by ya to download this?
It pops up in my Automatic Updates and when I researched it in the past it wasn't a good idea to do it.

All the past problems have been corrected. It's recommended that you install it now.

it is still not working , giving me same error as mentioned above.
i researched that error and http://www.file.net/process/system32.exe.html states that this could be a worm? or is that just hype?
