Also, wouldn't removing the Security Patch only work until the next XP update
which would reinstall the patch?

I am concerned that removing the security patch will expose me to hackers.

For those of you who always think it is the Users fault, I have done a
security scan for viruses and adware. I have McAfee security. This problem
has taken hours of my time as I had to first do scans and check that I had
updates current, etc.

I did call Microsoft support which just means a persons reads a script that
you can call and pay for help. No acknowledgment at all that there is a
problem.
