OK, please hold the train ! This system is infected with at minimum, spam. Likely has worse malware. You must clean it first, before going to get & applying service pack 2. There's no other choice.
Disconnect the physical connections to the internet until after cleanup. You'll need to use another system that is "clean" to download cleanup tools. Put the cleanup tools on a CD (burn a CD) or better, put on removable USB memory sticks.
Follow the fix protocol at Aumha.org

Do a little reading before getting SP2. See tips at Aumha.org on preparing for SP2.
Look at the Pre-Installation Recommendations

Once this system is clean, I'd highly suggest you get XP's SP2 on a CD.
