Just a "heads up" regarding XP Service pack 2, its out any day now via the microsoft update site, and is already available for "IT Professionals".
It contains LOTS of security updates for windows, including a pop up blocker built into internet explorer, a much improved firewall, and a program that watches over your antivirus protection, the default settings are just fine, so you won't need to mess with them yourself.
I'd highly recommend it, I have it on my PC and am really pleased with what they've done. But I wouldn't recommend you download the "IT Professionals" version unless you are very confident with your PC, just in case you have difficulties. There has been a few glitches with this early release...oh and its a 200mb Download, so you don't want to be downloading that via a dialup connection
The original release date was Aug 16, but its been put back, so any day now.
Cheers,
Scott |
