  For some time, msxml4 sp2 has been installing over and over again. Today I uninstalled all msxml4 sp2 files and installed msxml4 sp3. I've not yet encountered any problems. I don't know, however, if uninstalling all previous msxml4 patches leaves my computer vulnerable or not. Any comments?

  Hi Terry, MSXML4 SP3 includes every security fix that is in previous versions. So you are fine to install MSXML4 SP3 only.
