Does sp3a Pretected SQL Server 2000 from Slammer?

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 addr
esses 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 s
ure? If it is slammer virus, why doesn't SP3a fix it completely? Thanks.Make sure you actually have installed the service pack. What do you get if
you run @.@.Version?

You should scan the machine to see what other patches your missing.
