Windows XP SP2 Question

[jagdpanther]

Howdo computer people

I have recently developed a few problems, notabley a couple of virus' that seem to be attaching themselves to the Microsoft IE 5 folder primarily and the only way I can get rid of IE 5 and update is to download SP2 which I have been avoiding like the plague!

Now dont judge me on this, but I download films from t'internet to watch at my leisure and if I like them, I buy them later..nothing wrong with that. I do the same with various bits and pieces of software, but my question is this:

Will SP2 cock about with these things and if it does, is there a way around it?? Patches etc

Thanks for any information

Yep SP2 introduced a limit on the max number of outgoing connections, it doesn't really have a massive effect but if you google 'sp2 max connections' you should get the lowdown.
