Several kinds of antivirus and antispyware software are mistakenly detecting SP2 and their files as malware or virus. If you have obtained SP2 legally from the Microsoft site and your security software is detecting SP2 as malware/virus, please report the SP2 “false positives” to the makers of those antivirus/antispyware programs so that they can update their detection files to no longer detect SP2 as malware/virus.

@Steve: UNblock your Webroot Antivirus/Antispyware security package to allow Vista SP2 to install. also, contact Webroot about the Vista SP2 “false positive” problem so that they can offer a fix to it.

@john: Don’t bother getting “Morro” or any microsoft antivirus solution because Morro is NOT even available to the public yet until near the end of 2009. I recommend using Avast, Avira or AVG as these three free antivirus products are very good. and DUMP McAfee as soon as possible.

Joh -

Windows Live OneCare is a piece of junk – expensive junk that Microsoft will discontinue next month. Se Windows Vista All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies for details, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_OneCare for info about the last gasp.

While installing Vista SP2 i got the same warning from my spyware/antivirus software. It said it found Mal/MDrop-Gen virus. When i blocked it, SP2 install failed. Im using Webroot Antivirus with Anti Spyware
