Please go to the following link and download the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool and then reboot the machine. Let's see if that works. I see it has for someone else.

To be more specific when I click the file to Run I will see the extraction bar on my screen but then it disappears.

Let's take a look at the Windows Update log that might give us some clues. You will find it at the following location. You can upload it as an attachment as it will be too long to fit in one post.

C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log

At least I still can run a full McAfee scan though.

Please forgive the delay in replying but I've had connection problems for several days and wasn't able to get on-line at all until now.

Can you zip that log file up and then attach it please?

If you don't have something like WinZip, then you can use the built-in XP compression utility. Simply right-click on the file and then select "Send to" and then select the compression option. It will create a file with the same name but with a .zip extension.
