Windows SP2 and hotfix

Steve Johnson:
I should be able to figure this out...but I'm a little perplexed.

While working on a friend's PC...I came across the following:

1)  SP2 is installed on his system running XP Pro, the install is shown in his Add/Remove Programs, however, the Security icon and the Firewall icon are not visible in Control Panel.

2)  Windows Security Update KB835732 is also installed, however Automatic Updates wants to continually download this security patch.

3)  He uses Norton Corporate Edition and was able to connect...run Live Update and perform a full system scan with no infections found.

4)  He uses Spy Sweeper from WebRoot and was also able to update the program and run full system scan with no infections found.

5)  Able to connect to the Windows Update site with just the glitch described above.

6)  No other visible forms of malware present.

Everything on the system appears to be working fine.  No connectivity issues.  No apparent browser hijackers or adware.  I'm stymied.

Any suggestions?  Or should I just uninstall the above mentioned updates and try again or run HiJack This or another spyware program?
