Pwned by 0 Bit Cypher

Query people, My mothers computer got pwned by losing its 128 bit cypher strength, now she sillyish enough installed a stand alone version of sp1 (from update.windows.com etc etc) but she also runs dumb a.s.s progs like kazza and incredimail,

now the only was i can think of fixing the problem is re-installing windows (XP by the way).

Does anyone know a fix around this for next time?? or is it just the typical re-install??

(by the way it also said when i tried to update (thought that might of been the problem) it said invalid date and time...Yes i set it up right, yes the timezone is right, yes the bios time i right, yes the TIME is right,, yes its a legit version.any clues peoples??)

Thanks
