Which was originally installed first, IE8 or SP3?
Have you ever had occasion to do a Repair Install of WinXP?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you originally installed IE8 and/or SP3?
Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
