Things I did and still got WFP.
- Clean Install(formatted, Standard, not quick)
-Installed WinXP Sp1
-Scandisk and Defraged
-Installed SP2
-Scandisk and Defraged
-WFP Popped up
-Did SFC /scannow, SFC /scanonce
-Scandisked and Defraged
-Looked at my processes, no Unknown processes/ programs in the background.
-Looked thru registry, and msconfig to see if there's any programs that would run in the background. Nothing suspicious.
-Did SFC /scannow and /scanonce.
- And I have reached that point soooo low that you just want to pick your computer up and throw it on top of Empire State Building!!!...

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I can disable it but, just don't want to risk it!!!...

Help me Please :) Thank you...

By the way, I did not mention about looking and searching thru google.com and found nothing that can fix my WFP problem...

You might have installed a program that altered/modified your system files.

Check your currently installed programs.
If it's necessary to research, then research.

About those files with bad signature.
Your XP installation CD might be corrupted.

The only thing I did was, Update my System to SP2... That's when the WFP started acting up...

If you are certain SP2 Install is the problem, then Uninstall it using one of the two methods given below

From the hidden $NtServicePackUninstall$ folder
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type the following in the Open: textbox:
c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

If you now have a WinXP SP1 System and it is running without any Windows File Protection Errors, my suggestion is to Check in Add/Remove Programs the following windows Security Update:

811493 security update

An older version presnt in XP-SP1 nad XP-SP2 had caused problems and M$ had released a 'Fixed 811493 security update and you may try to install that.
Just a thought
