Make sure you actually have installed the service pack. What do you get if
you run @@Version?

> We have a SQL Server 2000 with SP1 installation on a Windows 2000 Server
PC, which is connected to the internet. Everytime after the PC is rebooted,
in about 10 to 20 minutes, it starts sending out data packets to random IP
addresses at a very high rate. After I installed SP3a, it still does the
same except at a much slower rate. It looks like the PC is infected by the
slammer virus. How can I tell for sure? If it is slammer virus, why doesn't
SP3a fix it completely? Thanks.
