If I am not mistaken, you should be able to obtain a cd, I will ask my computer engineer tomorrow and pm you with the details.

There is a site that you can use to stop viruses from attacking your computer while the download is going on  download ZoneAlarm first and after installation has completed, download the service pack 2 from windows updates. www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp |

I have installed it on my computer it took about 30 minutes to load up, but i had service pack 1 already installed. It can depending take up to 2 hours to load in some case's i have been told.
I know of 5 that have installed it and it took 30 minutes.

When you install it leave your anti-virus software on as windows will find it. I have a built in firewall and pop up stopper but i had to turn off the windows pop up stopper as it can sometimes compete with the one you have installed on you computer already.
