yes but only norton anti virus... no personal firewall... cause its useless..

u mean mcafee has personal firewall and it is quite useless

I got norton, I don't use the firewall but besides that it's a good program.

personal firewalls are programs that simulate security without any improvements of the same thing... try google and u will find websites that tell u why..

i was a betatester... reported some bugs and stuff like that... i think it should be somewhere on the MSdownload section..(try the search function on the site of MS) actually not at the update site available, but that comes in a few weeks, i guess its not launched everywhere localised, cause of some problems with thirdparty programs, but that will be fixed soon as well.

Edit: try it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...45-9e368d3cdb5a

SP2 got some nice features:
-popup blocker for IE6 (blocking sites that popup, activeX scripts blocking and stuff like that)
-WinXP gets a nice feture called "security center" where u can see windows new integrated firewall and networksecurity options, a list of supportted antivirus programs and a possibility to let ur system update automaticly when a new patch/fix is out there

and quite a few things more

and @ ncc1701z:
yes it is, u got not that much improvements, but fewer bugs and security lacks.

i dont know the difference at all if their ressource intensce or not.. cause i always got xp prof. since i formatted my new pc the first of 4 times in 2,5 years( it would be 2 times at all, but once cause of a hdd crash and another day i shot down my registry as i modified/tuned it)...

but i know sp2 is useful
