Telboy, On the various forums that I visit Genuine Advantage is classed as spyware and I believe that microsoft are being taken to task over it. I myself and many others have removed it from our computers even though we have genuine copies of XP. When you update in future just watch what they are suggesting that needs updating and do not download Genuine Advantage. My updates still come through without it. so it would be possible to download and install SP onto your computer
