Can't get SP2 update

I can't download the SP2 update. I have ordered the disk but this won't
install either. I get an error message when trying to download my mcafee
antivirus software, but don't have ActiveX, however I have changed all of my
security settings to allow this. I don't know what else to do. Please help

See:

Sounds like your problems are due to hijackware. Do not attempt to install
SP2 until an expert gives your HijackThis log a clean bill of health.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
