Q: A couple of months ago, my younger brother visited and used my laptop while he was here. Since then, I've unnsuccessfully tried to take all of the adware and spyware off of my computer. It worked for a while, but now this is just getting ridiculous. I downloaded Windows Live Care antivirus software on my desktop, and it cleaned all of the virus's off. I want to get it on my laptop, but I don't have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed. I've got my computer set so that it automatically updates everything, but still no service pack. I went to the windows update site using IE, but it comes up with an error message. Here's the exact message, maybe you can decipher it: [Error number: 0x80248015] "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem." I also cannot search Google or get onto certain sites or click on certain links while using Firefox. These work in IE, but then I get bombarded with pop-ups. I need to be able to get updates on this laptop, and I need to find a way to get Windows XP Service Pack 2 so that I can get the Windows Live antivirus, etc. This is the computer I need to use for school, and I'd really like to be able to use it again. I'm usually pretty good with computers, but I'm at a loss with this one. I can't spend any money or buy a new computer. Help? =(
A: Google Error number: 0x80248015 and read some of the information. One item I read says to check the time and date on your computer as one possible problem. Good Luck
