XP Service Pack 2 - Better home networking features and security
When setting up your home network, is it important to stay
current with your software too. About once a year, Microsoft
releases an update to Windows XP. These updates contain all
the fixes and enhancements which have been made available
in the previous year. The updates (called Service Packs) provide
convenient, all-in-one access to the most up-to-date drivers,
tools, security updates, patches, and customer-requested product
changes.
The latest Service Pack for Windows XP—Service Pack 2 (SP2)
is all about security, and it’s one of the most important
service packs ever released. It provides better protection
against viruses, hackers, and worms, and includes Windows
Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer, and the new
Windows Security Center. All important for better home networking.
