If you installed SP-2 and it since reinstalled, it is because you have
Automatic Update enabled and also accepted the EULA:
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Update tab
Make selections as desired

Also see this link if you want to leave Automatic Update enabled and
not get SP-2:

See the Service Pack Installation Checklist before installing SP-2:
