Er... How do I start? Okay, well, I was trying to fix this problem with McAfee that I had. The icon was never red and the virus scan was always disabled. I read around on the McAfee forum and someone said they uninstalled their service pack 2 or something. So I tried it, and now my computer turns on and stuff, but it's very slow. I was wondering if it was possible to get the service pack 2 back, because I don't want to start my whole system over and lose all my work... I don't know where to go to get the service pack 2 since the internet on that computer isn't working at all. Any help or suggestions would be wonderful.

Thanks for reading this.
