All I've heard about SP2 is NOT to install it because it's loaded with problems. Like we need more with XP. They are really into trying to get users to turn on auto-updates, so they can then load all the garbage on your PC without your knowledge or consent. I know of more than one person that had auto updates on recently, and it wiped out their HD's to where they had to reformat. All I can say, is that anyone that wants to try it better have Ghost, GoBack or similar installed and ready to go! Best thing is to run Ghost and get an image you can restore back via floppy boot restore if need be. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "rb47" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint, After checking out your reference to get to the Kaspersky site, found they have a affilite in the US which is ICE - the link is given in the site. I called them, and Kaspersky has not only the excellent anti-virus program but an anti-h*cker program as well, which is there firewall program. After all I am reading from Brian Livingston and other industry gurus, XP's SP2 is great but just does not go far enough it would seem. He and others are saying that people should use Mozzola, Netscape, Opera, Eudora, and similar, and just get away from IE and OE completely. Interesting with all that I saw in the paper today with the pending release of SP2 in the next few days.
