* If the configuration of your antivirus software prevents certain =
system=20
files from being changed, SP3 installation might fail. Try temporarily=20
disabling your antivirus software. You can usually do this by =
right-clicking=20
your antivirus program icon (which typically appears in the bottom=20
right-hand corner of the computer screen) and clicking Disable.
* If you disable your antivirus software before you install the service=20
pack, be sure that you are aware of the risks involved, and be sure to=20
enable it after the service pack is installed.
Remove SP3 via Add/Remove Programs, reboot and download and install it=20
again. Before you do, turn off your anti-virus and any anti-spyware =
programs=20
such as Windows Defender. If you use a third party firewall, disable it =
and=20
turn on the Windows Firewall in the Control Panel for the installation. =
Once=20
SP3 is in and working, you can enable the third party firewall and turn =
